rigids. just feels nicer for me. once i put them on my bike it felt like heaven compared to before. but like most posts on here its all about personal preference.

rigid because u dont lose very much speed at all when hittin quarters and jumps (only lose a bit because of the tires) and as said, it makes u smoother. ther also lighter ans stronger (although more stress is put on rigid forks).and they are a lot cheaper to

DMR's have a tendancy to bend and break. The Identity is one of the strongest.

I personally have run both and like rigid better.

Wait untill Dobermann releases their Choker rigid fork next month or so for a really nice quality, light fork.

rigid if you ride technical street and don't do higher drops than 4 sets, suspension if you ride agressive

if you ride rigid: Identiti Rebate, there's no other fork which comes close to being that good, cause the Rebate is PERFECT!!!
if you ride suspension: goldlabel if you don't do too extreme stuff, argyle if you're a bike destroyer
