Make sure you have a spring to lift the nose of the ski when jumping, so you can't stick a ski tip into a bank, or deep snow. Otherwise she's turning into a little beast.

@@isaiahfrey9549 I've ridden those cheap air forks on my MTB for a while. They're built fairly well - I mean, they're 100mm air forks so they're built for light to medium xc trails and anyone looking to hit a black diamond with them shouldn't be surprised when they do break. The only problem with these things is they're not all built the same, and they're not carbon copies of other brands, like Zoom, RST, SR Suntour, Rock Shox, Marzocchi, Manitou, Fox, DNM, etc etc, from any of their lineups from any year which, while weird in and of itself, makes getting replacement parts almost impossible. Even the damper cartridge, which are built by SR Suntour, don't have a model number. I've found the Rock Shox wiper seals work alright, but everything inside is purpose built for that specific fork.

It would look cooler if you put double crown forks and rear coil suspension (pros of double crown forks are theyre stronger and you dont need as much fabrication because the bike already had double crown forks but cons are theyre a little bit heavier) (pros of rear coil shock linear, in my case they have been stronger and they have more travel usually but cons are theyre heavier and cheaper shocks wont have as much adjustments)

What a great upgrade. It would be cool to see the before and after. I guess the frame, seat, handle bars and tank are still original. It's like Grandpa's axe, two heads and four handles later. I figure later on someone will want more power and then everything will be beefed up to handle that.

What's left of the original bike? A seat, tank, most of the frame, handlebars? I wonder what you could do if you got all the upgrades you gave it initially, and fabricated the rest instead of using something off of Amazon? Maybe make it a challenge - we send you lists of parts off of eBay/Amazon/whatever, you pick an interesting looking list, and make a vehicle based on all the parts. Could be some really interesting stuff come out of that!

You might want to consider mounting some kind of guard on top of the swing arm. Maybe a truck mud flap. If you fall onto the track the “studs” could hurt. There was an ice racer here in Alberta that bled out on the track after crashing his cr500af in a race about 4 years ago. Of course his studs were huge compared to yours but what a shitty way to go. Awesome build! I was kinda hoping the new suspension would give you a little more leg room. Looks like fun though!
