Risk Racing announces upgrade to Holeshot Starting Gate
Risk Racing is proud to announce the latest feature upgrade to the Holeshot motocross practice starting gate.
The Holeshot Starting Gate has all the same great features it always has. Simply strap the wireless remote to the rider’s crossbar pad. When the button is pressed, a timing sequence begins and the gate will drop randomly between one and five seconds. The rider never knows when the gate will drop so he or she gets a realistic training tool that has proven to help with starting technique and produce holeshots when it counts.
The new feature is for trainers working with riders. It is called the “Instant-Drop” feature and it allows a trainer to plug the wireless remote directly into the gate using the supplied six-foot cable. When the remote is plugged into the gate it will drop instantly as soon as the trainer presses the button.
The gates can all be linked, allowing multi-rider practice, which produces the same nerves and stomach butterflies as lining up at an amateur national. It is great practice and more fun that you might think.

RevArc: The World’s First Tri-Fold Arched ATV Ramp
Bosski, Inc recently announced its revolutionary tri-fold arched ATV ramp – the RevArc. While arched ramps have been around for years, it is Bosski’s specially designed arch that makes this ramp so innovative. It provides a smoother transition from the truck bed to ground level than even a traditional arched ramp.
Available in both 72” and an extra long 90”, each RevArc folds out to an exceptionally wide 55” for optimal safety. It then quickly folds to only 18” wide for compact and convenient storage underneath the ATV.
In their continual effort to improve safety, Bosski has raised the bar yet again with their introduction of Tri Loc Technology. “We started with oversized Gate Grips to really hold on to the tailgate, then added an adjustable strap to fasten the ramp securely to the truck, and brought it all together with a specialized core to stabilize the loading platform,” explains Robert Rickard of Bosski.
“We asked ATV dealers what they wanted, and now we are giving them exactly that with the new RevArc,” says Rickard. He shares his excitement, “It’s arched and it folds together – it’s cool.”
Bosski has even created a point-of-purchase package for every RevArc ramp, so consumers can see the features & benefits of owning a RevArc. The goal behind this new POP, “to relate the value of RevArc’s unique benefits over the competition,” says Rickard.
Powersports dealers need to continue to find new ways to differentiate themselves from the “big box” and discount stores; RevArc ramps are distinctly unique and offered only through powersports dealers.
Order Requirements:
Minimum 6; mix and match
Dealer Margin: 35%
Retail:
RevArc 90” = $239 and
RevArc 72” = $199
Marketing Tips: The provided point-of-purchase should do most of the work; simply display the ramps with the POP facing the sales floor.
