DVX for action sport films?

nope it would work.

You import both into a 24p timeline and split apart the 60i footage and slow it down to 40 %.

When editing you will be able to tell which is 24p footage and which is 60i because 60i will have interlacing in your editor and 24p won't have any.
 
Would they have to be imported /captured in to fcp seperate - another words if I'm capturing 60i footage and it runs into 24p what should be done
 
no they don't have to be captured separate.

You should cut them apart on the same time line and just slow down the 60i footage.
 
Film some test footage of something moving at 60i and then switch back to 24p import it and try to edit it.

as well as 60i, film at shutter speed of 1/120 or higher for smoother slowmo

I talked to a videographer for a well known Motocross magazine and he was saying he records at 24p with a shutter of 1/1000..his exact words .."I shoot at 24pn/24 frame rate at 1/1000 shutter. That freezes the dirt and gives more detail I think"
 
slowing down progressive footage whatever the shutter speed will give you choppy slowmo, you need to shoot interlaced (gives you more frames to work with) & using a shutter speed of 1/120 or higher will help give you smooth slowed down footage.
I suggest you search for slowmo with dvx on this site, there is loads of info if you look for it. for instance check out these threads for slightly different ways of achieving it depending on what software you have

slo mo i will be shooting at 60i for sure.....Im thinking of 30p or 24p at somewhere around 1/1000 for all other footage
 
shoot 24p for all the other footage and is 1/1000 is fine, but it depends how much light you have, I've tried filming with my shutter at 1/1000 and the footage came out too dark.
