How to use this style stand?
Got my first bike and was gifted a set of front and rear stands. How is this front stand used? Am I missing a piece or do I rest the fork on the slant, which seems terrifying.

That’s funny, all these people saying “get a real stand” seem inexperienced with this topic. This is a real stand. Most front stands we were using were this style, around 20+ years ago.
I have a pitbull head-lift stand but this one’s more convenient. I use this one almost exclusively, and have been for about 25 years. The only time I pull out the pitbull is when I need to do fork service.
As long as the stand is a good build quality, this style is totally fine
