This is the biggest lie ever. Watch A Happy Medium 2, the skate video, it was filmed almost entirely in Arizona, and it has some of the sickest spots I have ever seen.
This is just a stupid statement. I rode my Tilt fork for 6 months without it getting messed up in any way, then I sold it and it is still fine. No problems with the cap or threads. My new one I have had for like 4 months and it is still fine, no problems at all.
I live in Washington, and about 3 people actually go out and try to find spots, everyone else rides the same 10 spots. I know this because I am the one that always ends up showing people spots.
