That kids love skids is funny........... I own the house I grew up in and in the garage are burnouts form my cars and motorcycles etched into the painted concrete floor. I pulled out all my vehicles awhile back and my wife was amazed at how many different marks were there. When I was a teenager I used to light them up and smoke them out of the garage into the driveway. All the rubber from the driveway is gone, but my wild youth skids are still visible in the garage. I guess I never really grew up, all I got was older.

Pastor Tom gives good advise! Never had to do the seat bounce thing though.
You can just get the rev's up and dump the clutch, but your running the risk of the bike wanting to wheelie instead. using the front brake is the safest way to get started for sure!
Have fun and play in a safe area

In first gear it will just break the rear tire loose. My bike sits so low there is not much risk of pulling the front wheel unless I hammer it just right going into second gear. At my age I've smartened up a little and try to play only when it's safe.

I learned how to do burn-outs in the MSF course.
There were 3 of use there who were experienced riders so we kind of hung out together. One of the guys was a sports bike rider and he gave us a lesson. So whenever the instructors were on the other side of ground looking the other way we would start doing them.
One time I started doing one and then I saw the instructor about to turn his head to see what the racket was so I stopped. The guy behind me started at that second. He got the yelling of the lifetime. The instructor threatened to kick him out of the class and said " I don't care what you do to your own bike but these bikes aren't yours...." I really had a hard time not laughing. Anyway we didn't do anymore burn-outs.
