practicing your starts xc and mx

what do you guys do for practice on your starts?
I been looking at this gate from risk racing
http://www.riskracing.com/pages/Holeshot_Page.html

anyone got one does it work well, it looks like its more for bikes but they got a quad one,
I would like to hear from someone besides a blurb on their page about how good it works but i has a switch to go on your handlebars and it drops within like 15-20 seconds but randomly to help u practice?

Its like 280 or id have one i need too many things right now but i think if it helped it would be worth it

Powder coater wanted for continous work

Like the title says I build quads for other people and I also part out built and stock quads.
I was working with another coater but he started raising prices contiounsly,
I usually need smaller parts done but in groups, generally each lot is the same color
I do need frames done and gussetted but I got other places to do that
it s the smaller pieces I feel I'm getting ripped off on
if you know one to recvomend or are one please post or pm me
I have slot of business I am trying to bring someone and feel I should get better pricing that a new customer who
wants their hubs pc'd
I could use molyvosting also but if u can't do large items or molycoat or do gussetted jobs it's fine I'm more looking for someone who wants a steady customer always bringing them business
thx j
