No, the correct term is crap.
Just kidding, but it isn't exactly a good fork. Better than a rigid fork but not better than a fair amount of suspension forks (you know what I realised? The fork isn't good for absorbing hits and the like, it's there for the bob. Seriously, I start climbing a hill, get out of the saddle and it bobs a fair amount).

Hehe, that's a good idea!
Works better than lube because after each stunt you'd need to wipe the stanchions.
