Have you forks ever broke????

Hey guys,

I just got a 50 a few days ago and have been given er hard the past 3 nights on it.

Already my forks seem to be kinda messed up or its the front axle???? There is about 1-2 inch play front to back from the lower half of the forks to the axle.

Its like the forks are bending in or the front wheel is being pushed out...

Am i making any sense????

anyways ill post pics to better describe my problem if needed.

Also

Has anyone ever busted the front end off??? Broke from the handle bars? are there any such stories that you have heard of?

Or even busted the rear suspension or frame from being to heavy? I haver the upgraded rear suspension kit...but dont really trust it yet.

I am way to fat for my ****, and yes I bent the **** out of my forks the first endo I did! I am having the worst time finding replacements that will work with my brake set up (knock off pos).All i have found are too expensive, most are more than i paid for the whole bike
