To be fair you might just be running your tyres a bit too hard Also you dont really need to spend money on new forks been as they do as you said waste energy but you could learn to loosen up on the bike and make it so you suck up what you do , you should be fine If you were to have SUS forks it would make the front heavy and might even be even harder to pull the front end up ( depending on what you have ) Also the waste money and energy You could ride it for longer you will get use to what the bike wants to do and therefore you will be smoother and there will be less even no pain Hope i have helped Josh...
