Dang this thread took off,lately ive been riding my Specialized Hardrock Sport. Man i love that bike, i feel way more stable on it than on my Daimondback. Tomorow i am going with one of my friends and hit the TRAILS at the beach. If i remember to ill bring my camera and take some pics. What are good brands of suspention forks for a 26inch hardtail dirt jump bike? I have RST's and want something better.

I would suggest some nice Marzocchis or Rock Shox forks for your Hardrock Sport. Fox might also be an option. From Marzocchi I would go with the Dirt Jumper 1,2, or 3 or the 4X, which are all 100mm forks. From Rock Shox, the Rebas are nice (I have the Reba SL), or if you want something oriented more towards Dirt Jumping, get the Argyles. From Fox, the F100s are very nice.

Here you go Inverted..
This is the basic concept of what I would want (had to do it quick so I didn't keep you waiting any more ha ha).
Thanks for the help

Another good reason why I think you would be a great Mod on this site.

Sorry for the big space and small pic... Wanted to get it up as fast as I could.

Thanks for the kind words!!

The green one is nice. I would like to do a green or orange frame. There is a good frame on sale though, which is why I went with a black colorway. Although, it wouldn't be too much to get it powdercoated/painted a different color.

My Rage looks just like the green bike but with a red frame.. Even though my bike isn't any thing special I am happy with it. If I can get it just a little lighter I should have a decent bike (it's already as tough as nails).

When I can't decide I get the lightest one (has to do with my hardcore Racer instinct

) haha

From just looking at them I like the Houdini frame as it's a little smaller. Would be easier to handle for me (not the biggest around) and it comes in green

Yuck! I just took a look at the 08' Rage and I am very disappointed. There bikes usually get better, but I hate the way the 08' looks (very cheap). Besides looks performance must be close to the same.

06' and 07' are much more pleasing to me though.

If you didn't know I also race BMX and when I was looking at frames this came to mind- http://www.danscomp.com/201345.php?cat=FRAMESPRO Great prise but it looks like they only have it in mini

I was aiming for the Houdini too. It is a little more though. United also has great customer service.

Other options....
