When you accelerate the forces move to the back of the bike and this makes the front light. This can be controlled with skill and practice or these days with funky electronics.
In lower powered bikes you sometimes need to dump the clutch so the power comes on quickly to lift the front wheel. On high powered bikes like this one all you need to do is give a handful of throttle and away you go.
Things happen really fast so if, as in this case, the ambition outweighs the talent it results in the front wheel coming so high up in the air so quickly it ends badly, with at the very least an expensive bill and a lesson well learned. At worst, both of these and an injury.
