Smooth, ok that must really suck. Start looking for some new parts, was it the stock P.1 fork? If it was...go with a Marzocchi DJ fork, they're better for jumping.

I hope your frame is alright. Maybe you can get that rigid fork you wanted now...

What do you mean too annoying to read? I changed my avatar anyway because it was starting to annoy me. By the way....PICS OF CRASH! PICS OF CRASH!

Look at the first 3 posts in this list. Flashing sigs, flashing avatars...its completely annoying, it won't happen here, but on another forum I was on all that crap got banned. Best thing that ever happened to it.

I like the flashing sigs and whatnot. GIves character to the post

I find quite the opposite, I find myself close to blocking all of the posts for myself so I can surf this site in peace. Yours isn't bad, its subtle.
Heck I even have a small one. its the overpowering making my entire screen blink thats annoying.,

eh I changed my avatar.
Sucks about the bike though. What kind of stuff are you getting to replace it?

well I think sigs that are flashing like really flashy and whatnot is annoying, reminds me of a popup banner. But flashing avatars i dont even notice, probably because they are small.

I have it set to not display avatars and sigs at me. Makes things much easier.

I was waiting for someone to comment on mine, lol
It was originally a photoshop project, but I thought it looked neat, so I resized it and made a few lighter/darker frames. I've been looking for a better one, I'll find one eventually.
soory, i dont have spectacular pics, im gonna buy this guy at my lbs's dirtjumper 3, and get my other stuff fixed....

I like reading sigs and I like good avatars. I don't want to have to sacrifice that for some kid thinking blinking lights are cool

We should coordinate another one of those, but with everyone having the option. Better yet, have a set of members have the same sig and avatar, and create a 'gang', lol
Nice job P1, you can be proud of yourself now :)
yeah, i broke the ****tiest marzochi there is

Dont get a manipoo Stance static. They bend like that too. Get a 'Zocchi DJ series fork. Headset, go with an FSA pig.
Get us more pics!

If you're using Firefox you can get this extension that will allow you to block them out. https://addons.update.mozilla.org/extensions/moreinfo.php?application=firefox&version=1.0&os=nt&id=10
Much more enjoyable this way. Blinking sucks- rotating- that's the way to go

Yeah, I've been doing that for a while on this site. Whoever has those annoying Family Guy animated gifs is the most annoying. I block anything that flashes.

Unlucky, the DJ3 is a solid fork, I had a Dirt jumper 2 and it was amazing for jumping!
Hope you get back riding soon!

Thats suppose to be a really bad fork. You should see some of the reviews some people have wrote on mtbr.com. http://www.mtbr.com/reviews/2005_front_shocks/product_124412.shtml

My friend has one that came stock on his bighit. The left leg seal/wiper wasnt pressed all the way on the lowers when we took it out of the box. There was oil all over it too. We tried adding preload and it wouldnt hold air.

I guess that fork is different for everyone, Because my friends have done fine, we all hate those stupid reviews, because they bag some forks and say (i blew the seals) it makes you think better steer clear of those, but my friend went ahead and bought em, and they are a really awesome fork, seals are fine, the hole thing is fine, damn those reviews, a bad review is a review not worth reading.

Nothing wrong with manitou, many people over here rate them Sherman FLick much better than its rival, the Z150...
