Have you actually tried the fork? It isnt as crap as everyone thinks you know, ive done repeated 3 foot drops on mine with my hardrock and im 175lb... Fork is still fine, Ive ridden it very hard for close to 2 years now, and im only now considering buying a new fork at some point, as i feel like i need an upgrade, but the fork has done fine for me while im learning, and ive used it for pretty much everything
