Eighth inch scrambler carbon fork

Keyword is yet. If it does fail, you'll probably have about a half second of warning before you're. On the ground.
That said, I've never owned a speck of carbon equipment, so this is all hearsay and second-hand knowledge.

Looking at the specs for the Scrambler, it shouldn't have come with the carbon fork.
Honestly, I say, ebay the carbon fork and get yourself one of those 700c BMX forks, or a Brooklyn Machine Works fork.
You say you trick a lot, and the carbon fork WILL fail. It's only a matter of when.
