A fluid damper (10; 2001) comprising:
a damper housing (20; 2002) having a first fluid volume (108; 2003) and a second fluid volume (109; 2005);
a damping piston (120; 2006) reciprocatingly disposed within said damper housing (20; 2002) and separating said first fluid volume (108; 2003) from said second fluid volume (109; 2005);
a piston fluid pathway between said first fluid volume (108; 2003) and said second fluid volume (109; 2005) through said damping piston (120; 2006);
a fluid accumulator (30; 2012) having an accumulator fluid volume (6);
a first fluid pathway extending between said first fluid volume (108; 2003) and said accumulator fluid volume (6), the first fluid pathway to provide compression characteristics;
a second fluid pathway extending between said second fluid volume (109; 2005) and said accumulator fluid volume (6);
a first adjustable valve (2016) to adjust a compression characteristic of said fluid damper, the first adjustable valve (2016) controlling a compression fluid flow through said first fluid pathway; and
a second adjustable valve (2018) disposed in said second fluid pathway, said second adjustable valve (2018) for controlling flow of a damping fluid in a first direction along said second fluid pathway from said fluid accumulator volume (6) to said second fluid volume (109; 2005) of said damper housing (20; 2002).
