Default new fork

i need a cheap dirt juump/light free ride fork. I also do some trail riding. I am looking at Marz. DJ III and the manitou stance static. Has anyone had any experience with these? Any other suggestions? should be less than three hundred $. Thanks

Check out those new Marzocchi Dirt Jam Pro and Comp. They seem to be cheap.

I've had a stance static for about 5 months on my freeagent jump frame, its really my second bike, so I only jump 1-3 times each week. I've had two trips back to the shop, 1 fork not compressing and 2 seals blew. I weigh bout 70kg/ 155lbs, so am not a heavy weight. Customer service from manitou has been great and forks now work smashing, and I am starting to feel a bit more confident about them.
seems others have had a few probs/ but others v happy

given the choice again I would have paid the extra for the marz dj's
Cheers
Steve
