^^ I try to ride with quite a bit of finesse, and had actually put around 2,300 km on my 24mm outer, ~19mm inner WTB rims before some spokes started coming loose (ended up bending one..). I don't really ever get more than 4-5 ft vertical air, and I land with both wheels nearly every time, and always look where I'm gonna land if I am going to flying more than a few feet (saw some dude wipe out rrreally bad once when he landed on a root wrong..luckily I could apply first aid). I had it trued, but for some reason some of my spokes keep coming loose which I usually have to retighten every few rides.

Is this a condemnation of the dude who trued the wheel, or has it just had the crap beat out of it for too long?
