not too familiar with this but maybe something like
http://www.danscomp.com/472022.php?cat=PARTS
Diety and shadow conspiracy make a similar one w/ that clamp system but i dont think they're as long.  the guts 'should' turn completely around.  charlie has the same one.  maybe he can chime in.

or a long pivotal..
http://www.danscomp.com/472079.php?cat=PARTS
i have no clue if that would work but i have a pivotal at home i can test to see if i can get the angle you're talking about.  i remember always seeing your bikes with that signature seat angle.

i tend to steer clear of traditional guts because i cant stand them.  then again i'm outta the dh game.

I have one of these to turn my am bike into an xc.  Super long and alot more clearance than the thompson for diff seat positions.  Same type of clamp but half the price and slightly heavier. You could get that signature nose diver seat thing going with the APX foshizzle. Cheesy Cheesy
I've heard some bad reviews about that I-Beam post and you can't use any of your old seats with it.

the APX works with just about any size seat rails from bmx seats to xc.

Sette APX Alloy Seatpost - all sizes- $24    
http://www.pricepoint.com/detail/12719-275_SETAA4-3-Parts-68-Seatposts/Clamps/Sette-APX-Alloy-Seatpost.htm


throw in a fit bmx seat for $25 and you have a light combo that works great and looks better than any of those WTB XC weenie seats for 1/4 the price.
