i need to know which fork is the best for DJ/street. i want a fork that has travel around 100. i dont want it to be really soft but i want it to still make a difference. any suggestions would be appreciated.

Go have a look at the Marzocchi Dirt jumper series there probly the best for doing dj/ park, or get a set of pikes marz(http://www.marzocchi.com/Template/listSPAForksMTB.asp?IDFolder=113&LN=UK&Sito=mtb&IDSerie=28204&IDAnno=28182)

have a look at the manitou gold label jump range, you can get 100mm with a 20mm axel for about 700 buks. Or just a simple 100mm version with normal drop outs for less. they also have grind bolts so id say they are street friendly. They also weigh less then any of the marz DJ's and are stronger than the pikes

have a look in the sale forums. i bought some marzochi dirt jumoper 3's and love them. i'm still not used to the weight but its something weasy. pikes are another good option. light and strong. in my forks i'm running a high air presure around 50-60 psi it only gets used when you over clear a jump or huck. they are there for one reason and thats to save you in bad situations.

Be the coolest kid on the block and get some rigids
trail blade by DMR
rebate by Identiti
Those two both compensate for 4 inches of travel
I rekon rigids are heaps better for street and probably for DJ

im running manitou gold series 2(20mm axle 100mm travel) and am very happy with em. they dont have a lot of adjustment(just rebound that dont make a huge dif) and are setup fairly stiff but for street/dirt jumping they work really well. i run dabomb rigids on my dabomb cr8 and its fun for street/dj's but not quite as good as the gold series.
