 Going Deeper into DHR, need some Advice plz
ok i posted this on "mountain Biking" but i think it would be better off in the "Racers" place. so heres what i wrote:

"At this moment i have a Bomshell Mindbomb with a Bombshell Marilyn fork. Very heavy bike for downhill, but one of the best ones for freeride out there. No way you can break this thing. But now that I am getting deeper into DH racing than into freeride, I'd like to make my rig lighter. I am starting by replacing the fork. I was thinking of changing it to a Marzocchi Super T. Boxxers are blown aften and are very expencive so I'm not even counting on them. Manitou Dorado's, damn they're nice, but I'm 16 years old so no way i can afford those things. And of course some other sweet ones, but too expensive. But there's lots of nice forks out there that may comtepe with the Super T that I wanna get, for the same price. Any suggestions plz?????"
lol i know its long but i need as many opinions as i can, since buying a fork of there is a big buy.... well for me at least.

        honestly i would look into the marzzochi's 888 or either manitou's dorado or rst sigma.. but you have to realize is any of these triple clamps are still going to run the same price as the boxxer would.each of these fork's i mentioned are over 1000$ each anyway so think with what you have and push yourself harder
        just my .02
