I have it set really stiff for dirt jumps. I can jump upper cheese grater and the cliff drop and not use all the travel. I think it looks better and feels better with it lowered. The front end sits too high with it set at 6 inches like how it came. Yes this pic was taken at blackrock, at the top.

Couldn't you just get a TALAS?

Talas is heavier, And I wouldnt use the adjustment feature. I have the float set how I want, and dont ever need to change it for jumping (which is what this bike is made for). Plus the travel adjust is just something else that might go wrong with the fork.
