Hi, i learnt in a 1.6 diesel, and did a lot of rolling firsts at junctions, now im driving a 1.2 petrol and if i dare do a rolling first (unless im going to stop) the car bounces, yet if im in second it does work but sometimes stutters. what am i supposed to do? also if i go in to first i have to change gear to second while turning which is quite hard.
Thanks
Thanks
What do you mean a rolling start?

What on earth is a rolling first 
If you mean already moving when going into first gear then in a small car you need a high rev count. Small gears at higher speeds have a much higher rev count than higher gears (you already should know that).
So what you're doing is rev matching. When your clutch is pressed down the engine will be running at idle, around 1000. The car is moving already and the rev count of the engine if the clutch released would probably be 2000+ so you need to match it before you drop the clutch.
If you can't Rev match at 1 then go into 2 where the difference will be less and you won't judder as much.
