I go in on the comp until it gets harsh hitting those root balls and braking bumps/holes. 7R is cranked in pretty good already, maybe consider stiffening the rebound valving a bit next time. If the front comes up at you too fast after a deep compression crank in a bit more.

The overall problem is the bike tends to dive more under braking with the plush rock suspension, then you hit the roots or sharp edge holes while the fork is down in the travel and its a real stinger. Thats whats tough here as far as setup goes, we have both rocks and sand. Down there in the pines you could probably get away with MX suspension.

I have to heal a lot more before I'm good to ride, its going OK just a bit slow.
