o isnt better. i mean it makes footjams and nose manuals a lil better but all around riding feels horrible. thats like asking why bmx companys or motorcycle companys or any bike related company makes their forks have offset

Yeah. 10 offset is nice/the standard/keeps things stable. high speed + 0 offset = road rash

Turn your forks backwards and ride like that for a bit. Essentially, that's what 0 offest feels like.

because im not stupid. 0 offset is fun for nose tricks but everything else it is horrible for compared to 10 offset.

its the industry standard for a reason.

and most 0 offset forks are ass ugly anyway

Riding a 10 offset fork backwards is really weird, I don't understand how r willy and those kids do it, but I have an inward 0 offset and it's pretty normal.

10 offset gives more control when actually in motion 0 has more control when in certian tricks it all personal prefrence

honestly, ive riddin 13ft halfpipes with my 0 offset fork, and felt completely stable. and hang 5s and sliders are easier but idk, i wanna try 10mm again tho

I used to think 0 offset was the best. But now that i'm riding offset, it feels a ton better.
Hang fives are a teeny weeny itsy bitsy bit harder to get into. But way easier to hold. Theres a bigger balance point. Footjams with fork backwards is way easier than footjams on zero offset. Zero Offset was cool at first, but offset is a ton better.
