Bottema skatepark forks - the first freestyle product.

ORB · « **Reply #18 on:** September 27, 2005, 02:32 PM »

Yip, older than the Gen one itself.

theRuler · « **Reply #19 on:** September 27, 2005, 02:35 PM »

i remember some mid 90's forks where the fork leg extended past the axel.
some had peg bosses on the bottoms too!

BuffaloUK · « **Reply #20 on:** September 29, 2005, 01:21 PM »

The mid 90's fork you mention sounds like S&M pitchfork

theRuler · « **Reply #21 on:** September 29, 2005, 05:53 PM »

must have been an early pitchfork
the legs went like 3 inches past the axel

weston · « **Reply #22 on:** September 29, 2005, 06:45 PM »

Jeff Bottema...
sounds Dutch...

...in fact his parents are Dutch. They live up in the north of Holland during the 80's. Murray, Bottema was bitd teammanager of the brand Murray. Those forks are an assett to the BMX history whether you like the design or not. It is again a different point of view, though JMC started something with those forklegs more to the ground with the AP style...
