Perusing my local Marketplace for vintage bikes, I ran across this old Giant. I don't think bike forks were ever made like this. Did this guy xbike too hard? Take it off some sweet jumps?
i wanna know how this rides probably REEALLY wants to go straight

Jumpies.
If the head tube area isn’t deformed…time for a replacement fork.

Jumping the bike after your dad specifically told you that this bike can’t go off jumps or the fork will break.

I know a horizontal top tube looks great but this is **not** how you achieve it

I gave my friend a ride while he sat on the handlebar once and my fork bent just like that

I was on a trail headed down a slight downhill and tried to bunnyhop a log. Back tire caught the top of the log and the resulting impact made my fork look part of the way like this.
