If your racing 40s, Boxxer WC, and maybe foes are the only forks you will be happy with riding.

40s are really expensive but really nice. but 888s are way too expensive for what you get.
888s are pretty much exactly the same forks as boxxers. only difference is i can
get a boxxer race for $500, and 888, which is the same if not worse quality, would cost me around $1000.

888s are nice, but way to expensive for what you get.

well 888's arent overrated the new ones are way to expensive but the 05 was a really good year my friends he flew his seals and rode the thing for like 2 months before getting them replaced and even after blowing them it felt like sex in a box. but get a totem they kick the shit out of everything it doesnt really matter hte fork just go fast and dont crash the travel matters alot though
