FML. for you. The advantage of running a Dj3 is theres no adjustment. Therefore you get use to it and stop complaining. Downside is, its a DJ3

I've been using the Atomlab Pimp forks and loving them. They feel ridged untill you over shoot a jump then they have just enough give to not sting my wrist.
Ive had to change my speed down the rollin because the fork does not suck up the lip at all and it sends me a bit higher and farther. I am also used to having a front brake but its kind of cool learning to work without it.

Which type do you like?? Soft or Hard fork setup??
Why would anyone EVER want to ride a soft work for DJ or street riding? A soft fork will only absorb your momentum and keep you thoroughly grounded.

soft fork with fast rebound makes it so much easier to bunnyhop and makes your bike feel so much lighter while riding street
what psi do you run?
