Anyways, yes, ride the clutch. You want as much power delivery as possible without wasting anything, so basically the front end should feel really light but the tire should not leave the ground. Also, lean as far forward as you can to maximize the amount of power that can be delivered without the front coming up.

This may seem counter-productive but now would be a good time to learn to control wheelies. Being able to put a tire in the air will help you a lot when you're trying to figure out how not to.
