Good start would be to get rid og the DT swiss
rims ..

they are soft like cheese - my Wife ( Foxy ) destroyed hers
the 2nd day she had her Sunday WC out at Oxford falls..

Good light race rim - but soft as hell ..

jeez, I knew DT swiss were butter, but it's pretty hard to buckle a front rim. How did you do it? Hit a rock?

Well, to cut a long story short. I was on my last run of day, i was coming down the track at a very fast pase as Woffa does, i decided to go up a bit higher on the jump to try a different line, this time as i hit it, the log on the top of the jump (lack of dirt on the jump) kicked my nose down and as i was going through the air i spotted a hole, as my nose hit the hole, my nice sunday stopped and big Woffa kept going into the scrub. Now Woffa has alot of grazes and bruises over his body. :D

Cheers

Niice rim.

I haven't seen a front buckled rim, but i did my back wheel pretty bludy bad coupla weeks ago, doin a bunnyhop, which i landed at bout a 45 dgr angle, and bent me wheel so it was rubbin on the frame.
Just put the bike on the ground, and start kicking the prik, cause i needed a nu wheel anyway, and needed 2 get home

once again, nice buckle
