I had my forks revalved a little softer for racing woods. I raced Arenacross and cased a few jumps and blew them out, understandable. I had them replaced and within 1 ride they were blown again. The front wheel doesn't seem to be sticking into any corner. Every bump or tree root I hit bounces me harshly and washes out the front wheel. The forks were full of air after 2 laps into the race.
What could be causing this? Poor adjustment? Wrong revalve? I called the guy who did it and he thinks the bushing are worn out. Thoughts? ANY help would be great. Thanks!

Loosen the bolts holding the front wheel on, compress the forks a few times to align everything, then tighten.
Otherwise, I do know that there's a plastic piston inside the fork that breaks. Everyone recommends the aluminum replacements. Good luck.
