Default Triple Crown Fork

I'm in the process of buying a new bike. I'm looking at the Specialized
Enduro. It has a triple crown fork. I currently have a single crown? -
I have a cheap Trek. Anyway, I was watching WestCoast Freeriding and
they had this video with Ryan Leach doing amazing stuff. In once scene,
he was cruising down this single track, he pulled a wheelie with his
back wheel, whipped the tail 180 degrees and then started pedaling again
in the opposite direction (so basically an instant reverse of
direction). Can this be done with a triple crown fork? I noticed he
didn't have one...


Doing that move has nothing to do with the crown of the fork and
everything to do with the skill of the rider. There are probably only
a few percent of riders out there with skills that exceed what their
bike is capable of.

IOW, don't worry about the lack of a triple crown fork holding your
riding skills hostage. ;-)
