Then you just have to get loose and try not to have your eyeballs jarred out of your skull (or ride slower). Running fatter tires at lower pressures will help take some of the edge off. Personally, I think you are on the right track - I would much rather have a rigid fork than a crappy suspension fork.
I am all for rigid forks, but I don't know about that one.............
