RC Cars, BMX Racing, Kart racing, Auto Racing, Vehicle Reviews, a little bit of everything else car and hobby related inbetween - there's even some snowboard videos of me crashing with some style and a few mountian bike videos in there
So far I've had no issues with this fork or the one on my Cruiser (same Ikon Forks just for a 24" ride) I'm not someone that jumps though, I try and stay low and not loose ground from getting too much air off jumps
Ohh, nostalgia. I was born & raised in SD, starting in about '96 when I was 17 the whole import tuner/ hooligan racing scene started blowing up. I was determined to put together a badass bit of kit & was working t a car stereo store at the time, making decent $ for a kid. By '98 I had a T-top Nissan twin-turbo Z (1993) and in a few years had dumped every dime I'd earned into HKS turbos, GReddy pipes, electronics, Stillen engine & suspension mods... basically just trying to copy the formula that made other Z32 300Z's go fast, and that was WHY I worked, and did side jobs (plus a few Gotcha! credit cards they used to mail 18-year olds back then, it was basically the great scam by Capital One that put a few generations in $100k debt by age 21: every few months an unsolicited credit card would arrive in your mail, your name already on it, sometimes with a $10k-$20k limit, ready to go! 😂) anyway this was between 98-2001 and Mira Mesa was kind of the hot spot for street racing in SD back then, there were some stretches of Kearny Villa Rd. we would intentionally block off, and when the police inevitably blew the scene we'd move up to Black Mountain Rd. which is more secluded but had a few sketchy patches of road that would bend a wheel, rip your tire off, or in more than a few cases send someone careening out of control in sometimes fatal accidents. But it was a "scene", you had hordes of young guys & girls out having fun doing stupid shit, and it often tied in with the local music scene, a lot of parties & live DJ events would sort of spill over into the races. I remember when the first Fast & Furious flick came out, and of course we were all excited that there was a Hollywood movie bring made about this not-so-secret thing we were into, and I remember walking out of the theater laughing my ass off with my friends about how silly they made the cars look (not that questionable taste in aftermarket vehicle accessories was an uncommon thing irl then 🤣, but it was full-ham onscreen) The movie was in a way, the beginning of the end of it. It made it into a joke, and encouraged a lot of people who had no business playing with cars to flood the scene with "cosplay" vehicles & this tough guy attitude that hadn't been quite such an incessant problem before 2001-2002. But yes, San Diego street racing was a good bit of fun if you were a kid in the late 90's-2001 🚘 🫶 🥰
These weigh around 1.1 to 1.2 lbs ....I believe the factory set up is around 1.9 to 2lbs ...this is on a cruiser though, a 20" is probably a little less
