put a different wheel on and if its the fork you got a bad one!. also try sanding the inside of the fork tell the wheel gets going and find the exact location the wheel hits sand that part! you got it!

maybe you have a defected proto =[

it might be dehubbing. check the urethane on the wheel.

and try a diff. wheel on the fork

Are you running a spacer inside your wheel, between the bearings? You should be. Try switching out the spacer with another one.

Try putting another washer on either end of the axle, and you'll be able to tighten it more.

Take a picture or something, this shit sounds confusing as hell. You don't really give us any info as to why it would do it in the first place. Clearly, it's an issue with your wheel or bearings. Cause I highly doubt you bent the fork.

And it makes no sense that you ride fine, then your wheel just suddenly stops when you land an air out. Because if that were the case, you wouldn't have gotten rolling in the first place.

I've had this happen to me, and it was the fork bending to one side or the other. It presses the wheel against the side and doesn't allow it to move. To solve this I just hit my fork on the ground until it's slight bend was back to normal. If you want to see it, I recommend that this Ronnie kid makes a little video demonstrating because I know exactly what he means.
