Rubbing sound on the front end...

I noticed today when I was coming to a stop sign a rubbing sound. It was pretty bad. I got off my bike and checked everything over and didnt feel anything coming lose or sticking.

I can tell its coming from the front tire area, anyone have any idea what this may be? I have been slamming the front lately, trying to learn first, but not insanely hard.

What could it be? Its driving me crazy wondering, it doesnt look like the brake pads are rubbing or anything.

No idea is all.

the brake pads are supposed to rub a little bit

When my cage gets loose it makes a lil bit of a screetch type noise(sounds like steering head bearings loose) when I do endo's... just another option to look at. especially if you have dropped it lately..
