You just take the gyro off and put spacers to take up the space that the gyro had, or you can cut the steerer tube of the fork.

alright cool. i also have another question about sprockets. im currently riding a 44t sprocket. but i see more and more riders using smaller sprockets. should i switch over or should i just stay with the bigger sprocket? (i mostly ride park)

It doesn't really matter unless you do certain stalls and grinds. It's just so the sprocket is out of the way.

having a smaller sprocket just reduces the chances of it being bent or damaged basically.

if you want to pedal more but a fast start up sure, you'll get used to it

Hey, fuzzy, do you even know what the hell you are talking about?

When you go smaller in the front, you change the back so it remains the same ratio.

Can you go back and fix that reply so it makes sense?

I'm the one that should be typing badly, not you.

I'd be typing fine but this keyboard is getting dull.
