hesitation or a bit of vibration is normal. the clutch is working to move those wheels from still. so yah, when you take off in first you need to spend a second or a second+ to smooth out your take off. that's normal wear to the clutch and not riding the clutch.

riding the clutch is when you're driving on freeway for example, and just rest your foot on the pedal. you think you're not depressing at all and barely touching, but in reality it's killing ur clutch
Ok so I'm not doing anything wrong when I take off in 1st gear- now what about when I want to launch the car? Just rev the engine in neutral to XYZ RPM and let the clutch out as I usually do? Noob question but, I just want to make sure I'm doing it right.
