quite likely bent, people on pb i think like to believe that their forks don't ever bend and stay perfectly straight, but that level of flex is quite acceptable under such a high stress load for something so lightweight
Rock Shox designed it to have flex on purpose so that the wheel can track better under these conditions. I have read it before when they asked why they went with 35mm stanchions on the newly designed (2010) Boxxer.
Danny is such a up and coming rider, no one knows yet but he will be like the next sam hill. He's so sick. little loose f*cking rat. Get on the hunt you rad bastard.
This is a slightly different shot to one that's already been POD from the same sequence (and cover of Dirt 113 too), I used it as the other one's just been used so much. It just sums up how he's been riding all year though; loose, wild and somehow totally in control. I don't think anyone realised just what his riding at Fort William would mean for the rest of the year when they saw him riding at Ft Bill on the Friday in practice...
