yeah that happend to my front shock... i came off a jump and it landed acutally really soft and i was still roling and just felt it like drop... mine was leaking oil before it happend tho...

yeah mine was leaking oil this week, not around the seals either. I didn't bother to look at it and I go riding today and my shock broke in the exact same spot. mom let me order my graduation present early so I got some Works A-T steelers. I hope they're good!!
