So a close friend of mine has just made the transfer from BMX to mtb and the kid goes extremely big. (used to be a push regular here in pittsburgh)...So if you know the spot you know the kind of rider im talking about.
He was on a budget and ended up picking up a GT chucker with a junk Marzochi dj3 from years past on it. Basically he blew it up in about 2 sessions. Put the fork back on and blew it up again.
The guy is about 245 lbs of muscle and rides like an ox, im trying to figure out what fork would be best for him. Keep in mind he will be riding some bike park stuff at diablo/snowshoe on this so i dont want to go completely park. Prob looking for around a 100mm fork...
What do you big guys out there ride? How do you set it up? I really dont know this market that well since i almost never break a fork...My new 08 dj1 is really nice i was thinking about pointing him that way...
Here's him riding...
