Easy... best trick is to have the clutch at an engagement point where the clutch slips enough for the car not to stall, but you still see the revs drop... then switch to the gas pedal as fast as possible an accelerate... or use the handbrake...


my suggestion is go to steep deserted hill and practice getting the car still with just gas and clutch (this is bad for the clutch if you do it all the time) but it teaches you the perfect engagement point for hills...
