well put mungus, still think fox terralogic 'inertia' valving is easier to understand and would work well on dh if they tweaked it, the inertia valve is a brass clylinder on a spring and the damping elemen is in a tube goin through the middle wit a hole at the top, so when forks are unweighted the brass cyclinder is being pushed up by the spring bein locked out, and when u push down on the forks the inertia of the brass cyclinder wants it to move up thus still locked out elimininating any rider induced bob, but the minute a bump from the bottom of the forks comes thru, the brass cyclinder moves down openin the damping circuit.
hehe,
so any shock from underneath opens the damping and any from above(rider) keeps it locked out
