It the above post is serious:

Try using your handbrake next time, if you are on an incline:

pull handbrake lever up
take left foot off of brake (you'll STILL be stopped since the handbrake is actuated)
release clutch at your leisure
accelerate while slowly releasing the handbrake

This kind of post gives us Canadian's a bad name! With all due respect, even with a Venom 800, you would have to be using some serious slicks and a different car to lift the front end off high enough to do damage to it on the way back down! Please don't post BS or at very least change the location you claim to be from, because it's embarrassing me!
