Kickstart sound effects, the boot on the lever and the engine coming to life. A motorbike gets kicked over on unpaved roads, then idles, shifts gear and passes by. An enduro bike runs through its moves on a dirt track, a scooter brings its horn, and vintage bikes sit alongside. Some racing machines were caught live on film sets.
A kickstart packs a lot into a short moment: the kick, the engine turning over and catching, then revs settling down to idle. The recordings from unpaved roads carry that through to gear shifts, approaches and pass-bys, so the start and the ride come from the same Motorcycle. Tyre skids on loose ground are in there too. The enduro sessions add foley around the bike, which suits a Dirt Bike scene where the rider kicks it over and heads off. The scooter brings horns and onboard recordings for a busy street, and the racing machines bring revs, accelerations and pass-bys from real film sets.
