Taking advantage of the bigger bike and him being 6 i would go up curbs and the lawn but going off the curb, the forks bottomed out and i wasn't even going fast. It's tolerable when just riding around but anything more and im bottoming out.
Honestly, I would consider just replacing it with a rigid fork. Maybe get a fatter tire in the front for a tad more cush.
