What revs are you launching at? As backward as it may sound, I find it easier to keep the front end down at higher revs than lower.
Basically I think I am not getting the clutch engaged hard enough quick enough.... and then after that, I'm letting the clutch out too quickly so the bike bogs. With this bike you really need to rev the piss out of it to launch it correctly... when the 2 board comes out I'm settting my rpms around 14k.

Also I think once I start letting the clutch out I need to give it more gas as the rpms drop to to clutch disengagement...

Anyways... gonna work on it.

edit: after that incident my issue isn't keeping the front wheel down, it's more of not launching hard enough.
