I ride with a big bore group and we are very competitive, its not perfect, but better than the competition in 95% of situations.

Yeah I keep a close check on mine too..no problems so far. Mine has seen its share of jumps and I ride ALOT of wheelies..lol I'd think the wheelies coming down with the 32's on offset wheels is a pretty good stressor on the ball joints...I haven't tried jumping it on the 32's though...not quite that brave lol. But by far the biggest test I put my front ball joints through was 30 fast miles on a Motocross trail..large whoop after large whoop bottoming the front suspension many times in the process of getting my timing down.

Thats exactly how I do it. It still is a pain.
