Holeshot

Features
Read full description

Train your start. Beat the gate. BMX races are won in the first two seconds. Holeshot is a faithful gate-start simulator built to train exactly that — the snap off the gate that gets you into turn one first. THE REAL CADENCE The full supergate sequence: "OK riders, random start… riders ready, watch the gate," followed by the four-rung light ladder. The hold before the drop is genuinely randomised inside a range you control, so you can never learn the timing and anticipate it. That randomness is the whole training point. MILLISECOND-ACCURATE REACTION TIMING Your reaction is measured from a monotonic clock rather than a naive timer, so the number you see is the number you actually rode. Every attempt is kept: personal best, recent trend, and full history. FOUR MODES • Gate Practice — the complete random-start sequence, repeatable • Reaction Trainer — rapid repeats with a trend chart and your best • Chronometer — a clean lap timer with splits and big, readable numerals • Race Manager — add riders, run a moto, set the podium, save the result BUILT FOR THE TRACK A bold, high-contrast display meant to be read at arm's length in daylight. Strong haptics on the gate drop, so you feel it as well as see it. Sound and vibration can each be switched off. EVERYTHING STAYS ON YOUR PHONE No account, no login, no servers of ours. Your reaction times, saved races and settings are written to your own device and never leave it. The app works completely offline. SHARE YOUR START Export a clean summary card of your best reaction and recent trend, sized for Instagram or WhatsApp. Free, supported by ads. Ad content is capped at a family-friendly rating, and you control whether ads are personalised from Settings → Privacy and ads.

Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Holeshot at none against Start's 1. Start's advantage is ads (none vs shown). On price, device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.
