Which Jumping Fork?

I think "jumping fork" implies fork for dirt jumping...not even 4x or slalom racing...really just dirt jumping...I could be wrong though...maybe
Spammmmmmm
I've had my Gold Label for about a year now and have been with very happy with it. It's light, strong, and stiff.
I rode a argyle on a DOC and really thought it felt nice, and I really don't like DOCs.
I love my Nemesis Tuned Z1 Sport.
nem pro z1 or 4x
i got my T-O-P chillin and waiting for my new nemisis tuned 4x fork. i would suggest nema s well. but the gold label i hear is good as well.
I'd say either dj2 or Argyle. 2 of my buddies own gold labels, one had the internals go bad within a year and the other is on his 2nd set of lowers (cracked the first ones within a month). Although, they are pretty sweet when they are working.
On the other hand, the Argyle is pretty much a beefed up pike, which I have, and it is a sweet feeling and stiff jump fork.
DJ2 seems solid as well, but I haven't had ride time on one

I say go with a Gold Label. Ive had mine for just under a year, and couldn't be happier with it. Super light, strong, and really stiff.
I've had foxes and manitous on my bikes and have ridden most dirtjump forks out there. The argyle is nice but for $250 plus $12 for a stiff machining spring, the gold label is hard to beat. That's what I'm riding now and I'm pretty happy with it.
if you could find a slightly used pike, i'd recommend that. mine has been awesome, over a year of solid riding and it has not shown any signs of problems. otherwise, the GL or check out a nemPRO tuned Z1....people seem to rave about them.
he said it, or go rigid like a MAN!
