Good call, now that I think about it that's pretty obvious. But when he mentioned it he was talking about the Bottlerocket frame he just got and didn't specify the fork so I didn't clue in.

you can ride almost any freeride bike or DH bike, i rode for a week straight on a kona stinky, which means if it held up, anything that isnt made by supercycle can

do it, its a sick bike and itll deffinitly hold up.... unless your a mad hack. ive seen ppl riding there on everything for hardtails to slopestyle bikes to fullon race bikes. The went on a trip 2 years ago and rode every bikepark in bc except mt washington and sunpeaks for a month on a kona stinky with dents in the frame and the only part i broke was a derauiler
