I was watching practice and noticed Zacho locking his forks into place without getting off his bike. Maybe guys do this, but it was the first time I’ve seen it. I thought it was cool

I think Roczen "invented" this a few years ago. Seen a couple of guys do it, but not many. Must be really hard to do with how deep they have the holeshot device set in SX

He's also good at re-leasing it.......................



Though he had to drop his bike and lay the boot to it, when it freakishly engaged during a moto.Woohoo

Marv was the first person I saw do it after the last 450 red flag a few weeks ago.

Yep, I was thinking the same thing...

I want to learn that, and the Paul Edmondson nose-wheelie to my center-stand...

Amateurs have been using this method since around 2004 including me.

A bit risky if you ask me. I mean you stand a chance of breaking the thing using your boot heal like that.

The thing cops rocks at some ungodly speeds. I don't think a little back heel will damage it...

Hannah was doing that move long before these young whippersnappers. And he was doing it with his LEFT leg.

But when Chuck Norris does push ups, his body doesn’t move, he pushes the earth down.

If everyone has a holeshot device then what is the point of a hole shot device?
Exactly, just ban them & go back to good old throttle control.

The sport really does need this.

Some guys have a device that lights up different colors and is green when they are at the correct rpm. It's stupid and the only skill left is timing....

Starts really have changed with all the devices out now. I watched an old SX race and was surprised how much slower they were off the line

Between holeshot devices, rpm lights, chocks, and grated starting grids, it seems like guys don’t even put the front wheel that close to the gate anymore

I saw a video of Ty Masterpool doing this a few years back also, cool little trick. The guys in the videos above make it look so easy.
