Send you suspension to a GOOD suspension mod. company like Factory Connestion, Race Tech

Tell them you want to set it up for Freestyle and that you will be hitting ramps. Tell them to set it up just like Supercross suspension but make the suspension slower and stiffer with anti-bottoming cones.

hope that helps

Baseline FMX suspension is Pro Supercross + 5 stiffer.

No, you can't race with it and some track practice will pound you into hamburger.
