Technology: mounting a Holeshot device
If you want to participate for the marbles, a Holeshot device is a must. The gem on the front fork ensures that the front of the motorcycle remains low during the start. By temporarily blocking the compressed suspension, more power can be sent to the rear wheel.
Precisely because the front fork is pressed by the holeshot device, you can fully press the gas during the start. The fact that the front wheel comes loose from the ground is not really a problem, but if it gets too high you cannot use all your power and we do need that for a holeshot. At the first bump that the front wheel experiences, the device is released and you have full suspension travel again.
In the video you can see its installation on the right fork leg protector. It is a simple job that everyone in the world can do and it requires few tools. Good luck.
