what scs does to your forks

I'm pretty sure that's because your fork bent, not because of your scs.
The concept is no different than a BMX stem and you don't see those forks bending. Just because you don't usually bend forks there does not mean that you didn't just bend it. There is a first time for everything. Also, like Alex said, if you make one part of your scooter stronger it distributes stress to other parts of your scooter that you might normally had a problem with but in this case I think it is just a bent fork.
actually, i no ur a pro and all but with bmx, u have less leverage in ur bars but with a scooter you have about 12 inches of extra leverage than with a bmx, thus ending in a bent or snapped fork
True, but bmx stems also have offset which helps with the leverage. But the bottom line is that bmx forks are stronger than most scooter forks, which is why we need stronger scooter forks. You can't have just one strong part on your scooter, you have to go all the way otherwise things will keep breaking.

i already had them i traded i love inward and all but they are just too heavy considering my scoot is heavy enough now and i dont like the look and i cant run my pegs on them.. which i occasionaly do
get over the weight.
and about the pegs you just gotta use some crafty macgyver skillz

Theres deffinetly more leverage with an SCS compared to a BMX stem. Especially if you had a beastly steertube in it.

Idk how many versions there were of SR forks but I think it just bent because the steertube was a too thin walled. Ive had to reweld steertubes on those forks a few times.

PROTO just needs to remake that fork with a better steertube and I'll bet that wont happen again.
I dont think you can blame the bent steertube on the SCS though.
