Well the forks were around 3 years old and all manufacturers aply planned obsolecence to there product otherwise they don't get any sales after there first sale. Thats why victor lawn mowers recalled there original model and replaced it with one that would break because there first one was so good it wouldn't die. Think of it this way you now have a reason to get better forks

Marzocchi Bomber Z5
Well i have been riding my Bombers since 2001 on a norco torrent. and to date there has been absolutely nothing go wrong with them. i ride hard and stack occasionally, jumping and drops and such. im just posting this cause i recon marzocchi are the best and i would never go for any other brand.

Dumb thing to say about the hurting your wrists. I've ridden rigids on my mtb for ages now and it only made my wrists a bit sore the first few days I had them. If your winging because your wrists hurt riding rigids any longer than a month then its probably because your a hack. BMXers don't hurt there wrists anyway, I've never heard one ever complain about it once, I mean if it was that bad then they wouldn't ride bmx.
you Guys are comparing cheap forks against ridiculously expensive ones and expecting them to compare.
Also, i made the move from mtb to bmx, and the only time i ever hurt my wrists was (strangely) the first few times i bunny-hopped (an the time i went for an xc ride, but thats not surprising) the difference between mtb and bmx is that on a bmx you learn to use your arms and legs to soak up impacts, but on mtb you use the suspension.
