do the kind of forks you ride effect your performance?

[gnarkid]

I hate spending . I'm more of an advanced level rider but I've got an ultra pro. I'm gonna get a district deck and a PIG headset. Do forks effect performance at all and how? Do I need it?

all forks are designed for pretty much the same thing. if you like foot jams get some vertex smx or phoenix wedge forks ( there are many other forks). If you want a light setup then get some district forks, Tilt etc ( i would wait for ethic to release their fork).

Over all, forks dont really effect your performance, unless your a weight freak or do many of one the trick (like foot jams).

smx's are kind of like a peg though

if u go from a ultra pro fork to a senior its going to effect u for a little but then u will eventually just get used to it

Steel forks will make your scooter front heavy Such as proto or DSA. Which can make your deck whip around faster. 0 Offset forks give you less control at high speed (not a big difference tho).

scorchers make nose manuals so fucking hard.

-balance point (hang 5s/nosemanuals).
-weight distribution
-tricks(footjam/no footjam)

Offset makes a difference if you ride tech but the only reason i notice forks is because mine
are backwards.
