I personally will never not trust my gut feeling.

    It took me multiple reads to realize you weren’t talking about dirtbike shocks (suspension), doing dirtbike tricks (a superman), and receiving a back injury (6 hooks in the back). It sounded like you were advocating for people to buy quality suspension components if they’re going to do big jumps and tricks on their dirtbike.

      Ha. Fair point.

      No, this was the kind of suspension where they put hooks through your skin, and then hoist you above the ground by the hooks.

      (I do ride, but only street bikes. And IMO, for street bikes, unless you track your bike regularly, your stock suspension is likely just fine.)
