Back again with another action packed Explained video for ya. This time around I'm forkin' excited to talk about forks. Not really. Although you'd never guess that because this video is 40 forkin' minutes long. There really are a lot of nuance details, designs, degrees, and dorky background info about the part you probably think about the least. So do yourself a favor and set your playback speed to 1.5x and learn everything there is to know about forks...

Thanks man, I'm 49 and still riding a mid school bike, everything has changed so much in 20 years that these videos are giving me the knowledge to build a new bike the right way.
collectively can we stop calling them a pair of forks. and just call them a fork?? please. its a pair of fork legs, but one leg wouldn't be a fork, maybe a skewer, or a spear, "Pair of spears" I eat with a spoon and a pair of forks? fork. a fork. ... for forks sake
This is why I don't understand Pro riders giving away their totally thrashed bike to someone - other than it being nothing more than a publicity stunt for views/likes.

I bought a 1980 hatch Pro racer from Craigslist turned out it was a guy I knew when I raced back in 1981 these Forks were just fine for being 42 years old I put all my faith into them
These gear guides seem to cause Fudger extreme discomfort, and therefore are delightful and essential viewing.
I started replacing my forks once a year when I rode.. I was dirt jumping and broke a steer tube. The crash from that led to a trip to the ER, a cracked cheekbone, MRI, concussion, no health insurance... Forks are cheap compared to that. Please replace your dang forks!
When I became an automotive mechanic I really was able to put it into perspective that basically all BMX components are disposable. Some may last longer than others (frame, bars, seat) but the rest truly do go quick, and shouldn't be counted on long term.
You know what I would like to see? Brand-recommended cycles. "This fork should reliably last
I think the emphasis on replacing your forks is something to always remember! Just because forks have a warranty doesn't mean you should ride them until they snap so you can get your replacement forks for free! Anyone who has broken a set of forks will tell you it's better to just pay for a fresh pair of forks, than it is to wait until your forks break!
Haha, you don't suck at this, it's technical information it's going to be dry, and I think these vids answer questions people have about parts design. It might interesting in the future to see a show on the evolution of BMX bikes from the 70s to now, but that could be a project, cheers!
As someone that hasnt kept updated with all the new bmx standards in the last 15 years i really appreciate these. Ive always wanted to build a high end bike but have always had a fear of building it and hating how it rides. Thanks Fudger!!!
Fudger always dressed for summiting Everest but just chills in the studio
PLEASE do a difference between team flow, amateur, and pro!!! pleaseeeeeeeeeeeeeee
Bro I geek out on this stuff so thanks for all the time you put into videos. We appreciate you
Thanks for putting these out Ryan! Your replacement recommendation is a good idea!
I never thought about running used parts like that before. I'm glad you put it into perspective how much risk you are actually exposing yourself to by buying random parts from people.
Of course I don't do all that hard riding like a lot of guys do but I think they made that stuff better back in the early eighties than they do today even
I’ve been running my Odyssey forks for way too long. I’ve been thinking about getting some new ones and those Odin forks seem awesome. Thanks for these videos. They’re very helpful.
Just getting into BMX so really appreciate these vids, would love to see one on Hubs.
