They suck. All they do is break oncle you land liek a 360 or double. Then after they break, they make your scooter like a dragster cause the springs are gone causing teh front wheel to drop.

 

[jakob-b]

if the spring comes out the top of it hits the tire

 

[Jordan Jasa]

I've heard you can take the springs out and replace them with metal tubes.

 

[mat]

yeh but whats the point? just use a normal fork

 

[gorrilaman]

Yeah normal forks are the ones which last the most other than threadless SR fork and others which I don't know.You don't need the spring. Some people actually land with the back first so the front does not take much impact. Those forks are meant for road riding not street.

who you calling noob?

maybe you??

where do you live?

 

[gorrilaman]

Coedie was probably joking. To Eric , how do you do a bunny hop to manual?haha. I mean like it feels like you landed equally front and back at the same time but your weight is sort of at the back kind of thing and so the impact won't kill the front.

well no shit your weight is on the back when you manual....but what i was saying is that whenever i do any trick off of or over anything i always try to land both wheels at the same time, no matter if its on a flat surface or into a transition....and to further stretch my point in case you havent gotten it by now, go try a spine and land with your back wheel first, and put a little pressure on it to, then come back and tell me what you learned.
