yes. a light weight xc fork. and surprisingly, no. i do lots of foot jams, rough gaps tons of big stair sets to stairs and to flat and i have yet to crank, snap, bend or damage it in any way. it also feels really nice with 155-165 psi and a heavier (like 10wt) oil. i like it more than my argyle. not to mention it weighs 2.94 lbs. i love it, but next time i am going to get a 20mm axle 100mm minute or just go rigid because this is kind of flexy when doing slow trials like tricks.
i really woudent recommend it though. As exploited in forums i weigh like 120lbs, and i still blow through the travel is a second. However, it would be a great, light fork for something like a pumptrack bike (the previous owner bought it mainly for this use). i realy dont know why i havent broken it yet, but with all the toe jams and FJTwhips, and just overall more strenuous in general tricks, the flex is beginning to get to me. I cant wait to go rigid.
tweaks, moto whips and mabey an x up on smaller stuff but no 180s or 3s. that scares the shit out of me, hell even when i try and 180 off a curb i get scared. lol . idk mabey its just the landing backwards thing that scares me
odd... well whenever i 180 and get the full rotation i ALWAYS land with my bars at like a 90degree angle. Either that or i lock up my feet and fall to the side or backwards
