If you're having trouble with 3rd gear causing bad feelings, try using 2nd gear. It'll give you more revs at the engine, so it should start up without shaking so much.

If your rear tires are chirping, you're doing it wrong, or you need better tires. I've pop started my Coma in 1st gear @ 20 MPH and the tires didn't chirp.
