Im relatively new to biking. Ive been riding on an '80s flatland BMX which is obviously not suitable for DJing. I want to buy a 24" BMX (the Haro X24) and i was just wondering if i would be able to replace the rigid forks with some of the suspension type ones... preferably the Marzocci (if thats how you spel it) DJ pros. Advice would be very much apreciated... :imstupid:

I don't think you want to do that. A suspension fork is taller and will change the geometry of the bike quite a bit by raising the front end. It will give it a slacker head angle and a higher bottom bracket, which will probablly make it ride a little goofy.

I'd say either stick with a rigid fork on a 24" bmx, or look for a 24" bike designed around a suspension fork, like a Tonic Fall Guy or a Union Street Molly.
