i'd just like a review on my 03 z1wedge.
in my opinion, this fork has the best 4 inches in suspension history! why? -cuz it practically saved my life yesterday while doing the big gap( 15ft.+ ) in the maarat race track boyet c's working on. i launched off it a bit wrong and was heading for the flat landing nose down. i landed front wheel first, almost had a heartattack, but the fork just sucked up the impact like nothing. i did the jump again and the same thing happened. at the ended of the day,i found out that i had cracked my front rim but the fork was as good and as plush as ever! considering i ride a hardtail, those italians really know what they're doing. really goes to show how good marzocchi forks are.

it sounds like you also know what you're doing.... and the balls.
although i have not seen what happened, it's not really bad to land front first. in fact in many cases u wanna land w/ the front touching first to gain control of the bike right away.
