I hardened up my forks like suggested and I was instantly rolling them like twice as far. We're still only talking about a little over ten feet, but its cool for me. :woot I haven't tried a new tire yet, but just tightening the forks made a little less effort, and it seemed a 'jus'a'weeebit' easier.

Pretty slow. I'm still worried about going over, and my tires keep locking up.

I'll try that stuff. I was not locking my arms and boucing on the pegs b4 i grabbed the brake, and I was looking at the bike. Everything felt so wrong that I was afraid to go any faster.

Thanks for the help. :woot
