DJ and FR: HT or DS?
hey lee,
i’m thinking about buying a bike (mainly for jumps and drop offs), should i buy a hardtail or a bike with front and back suspension.

 NorCal’s Taylor Calvert boosts his hardtail back when he was a wee tot. |
Hardtail.
– You get better, lighter, stronger components for the same price.
– Nimbler, more responsive ride.
– Strongly encourages you to learn good technique.
Give ‘er!

hey lee,
thanks for that. i live in Australia so all of the American brands mightnt be available. What brand would you recommend? Is giant good?
Robbie
Giant STPs (their DJ hardtail) are sweet.
My Giant STP was probably my favorite bike until I made it explode (not that they are weak I’m just a sucker for used parts and a lousy mechanic).
