I dont want to get into a hope/king debate but I will say this. My king has been awesome, yes it's skipped a few times (a drop gap in soton about a month ago) but I didn't smash my face, was only a little skip which resulted in me only gapping half the distance, not going over the bars. I've had my king for nearly 3 years and it has only scared me maybe twice in that time. I have never used a pro 2 but I haven't heard of any hope hub lasting that long under constant abuse. If hope can ressolve the issues with the hub bodys cracking then I'd happily run one in the future.
