crippler
ugly as fvck
Actually, I think it looks kinda cool. You have insurance, right? Give it a shot and let us know how it goes...
Looks like a cruiser race fork. I say go for it and make sure somebody is with you with a camera every time you jump.
ummm, no...
whoa.
boom shaka laka.
white bros makes a very similar fork... not that I'd trust either very much with a single session of nice ghost ride cases though, haha...
these scream bad idea
Yes, I have excellent insurance.
However... if I want to spend $400 and die, I'll get 8 cheap hookers.

the fork is sketch to me. i dont think id be able to get 'rowdy' on that..
I'll just stick some carbon fiber stickers on my rigid surly.
Just looks like death to me...
THere was a bike a while back where someone put wood stickers all over the fame and it looked like it was really wood. if your desperate for carbon fiber you could probly do that with cf stickers.
I'm kidding.
ahhahaha seriously, im all for innovation but this thing is just plain stupid, what problem does it solve? or cause now that i read the sentence before?
Run a cromo or susp fork and go ride your bike...this thing would be great for sitting at the roll in ramp with your shiny bike talking about ti bolts and custom paint jobs

see now that is actually legit i like thatI wasnt.
that (the wood) is sick haha
Working at a composites shop I can assure you that carbon fiber can be laid up to withstand any stresses you could put on it while out dirt jumping, but I guarantee that this fork isn't. Eventually the bond between the carbon and the aluminum will fail, the aluminum will put knicks or scratches in the carbon and then it will indeed crack.
My vote: eventually a crippler

make sure you have insurance. If you are married with kids get Life insurance first- but if you jump with that they may consider it suicide. just check with your insurance rep first.
didn't he say they are stickers?
Look at the drops, you can see where they end
