That looks to be a White Brothers DH. Actually they are, the resi on the bottom of the right leg tells all, never trusted that fork though... always scared me, seemed pointless, there is enough oil in the forks, no need to add a resi too.

yeh it's a 2002 dh3. i had a new 02 shiver dc last year and it was awfull, the dh3 is three times the fork. i sold my shiver after 3 months.
the dh3 is a super sweet progresive fork. the guards are custom made allum. ones and i just put a new set of 03 hope minis on it.

welcome to RM. fortunately you won't meet many jetski people here.

(except for Jetski himself and he is the exception to the rule.)

yup, jetskiing is just another one of those sports that i don't like.

I mean when you really think about it, jetskiers don't really do alot. They wait for sunny warm, weather, get baked, go find someplace in the sun then drink beer and smoke ciggarettes and try to look beautiful by laying in the sun until they pass out.

It doesn't even take one iota of talent or exercise to do all of those things.

plus it has 'hippie sport' written all over it
