This is entirely due to skid stopping and could not have happened any other way. (?)
Pics?

See if this photo works. It's quite hard to see as it's an iPhone photo.

Balls. I'll try post a pic later.
It's basically like when Im stopping with the pedals it's pulling the right side of the fork toward me

This sounds like such bollocks, although I'm happy to be proven wrong with a picture...

so when you skid your right chainstay is bending in towards you?
has it partially snapped or cracked or something?
sounds fucked up -

Your chainstay you mean?

See if that works. The pole nearest to you is bending to a backward c shape
it's not bending when I'm stopping, it's bending gradually over time

ok, look at the pole just above the wheel, the one nearest to the camera (the right one) it's bent. the whole pole has shifted like in an anti clockwise direction. it's from stopping and the chain is pulling that side of the wheel. like when the wheel wasn't tight enough this one time, the wheel just shifted to the left when i tried going up a hill and got stuck.

you can see they aren't parallel. maybe fork is the wrong word i don't know.

Is it just me, or are there no poles in any of your photos?!

Can't see it from the photo; doubt chainstay has bent from skid stopping; more likely the axle has slipped forward so re-centre the wheel and do up the tracknuts a bit tighter.
If I missed something it's because it's impossible to see from the photo...

are you sure its not just the angle of the photo.
So I noticed yesterday my rear fork has bent inwards toward the chainside from skid stopping. This fucking sucks.
Is there anything that can be done or do I need an entire new frame?!
