Il Explain, i had been riding rigid for a bit on my bike but it hurt my wrists to much so i decided to order a nice new Lyric, only problem was that it was back order, so i had 2 months of no fork, my solution was to use my nice little fox 32 until it died miserably, now i was stuck with no fork and a month and a half to ride, so i made some calculations and a fox 40 at 6 inches was only 3 mm taller then a 4 inch dirt jumper (which was what the frame was designed to handle) so i figured might as well ride. in the end it was very interesting to ride as the fork was pure butter but also because when it bottomed out it had a 90 degree head angle. i was only riding park with no large impacts so my frame was not affected.

this dude obviously knows what hes doing if he dropped his 40s as much as he could so as not to damage his frame. shoulda put the story as the pic description though because everyone thinks you did it because you thought it was cool or something. but good work anyways, f*ck not riding if theres something you can do to make you able to ride
