what do you think the best haro for dirtjumping is?

i used to ride bmx all the time about 2-3 years ago but i was also 5 foot 9

now im 6 foot 2 and weigh 160 lbs...

ive always rode a 20 inch bike but i was thinking maybe a 24inch might be better for my size.

all i would be doing is dirt jumps.

if anyone knows the cuyamaca dirt jumps in the san diego area thats why ill be riding as i live a minute away...

and only haro suggestions please...i get a great discount on them from where i work.

thanks

edit:i also want to to keep the mrsp of the bike around or under $500

I don't think you'd really need a 24 for cuyamaca... rode there a month or so ago on my 22 and those jumps are perfect for a 20 (IMO).

As far as the Haro bikes, the Forum Series bikes look legit for dirt and theX4 and X3 look like good mix of park/dj bikes. I'd lean towards the Forums series as they have 21" top tubes ove r20.8 for the X-series. The orange forum is siiiick.

are the differences from the forum intro s lite and the forum into lite good enough to justify the price differences?

go for the bottom one, it's all crmo frame vs the other ones. You do not want hi tensile steel . It's worth the extra $

If you do decide to go with big wheels, Haro have been doing a good job on their dirt jumper mtb's. Phil Sundbaum's sections are worth checking out. He's like 6'7" or something and crossed over from riding 20"s. Great style and sick tricks.

You're really into dogs. From your screen name, to your sig, to your post. You sir, have a fetish.

Worst thing is I'm actually a cat person.

I disagree. Hi-tensile is fine on a bmx for the most part... I'm 5'11 and 210 and I beat the high holy hell out of a hi-tensile frame for about a year and had zero issues other than a little added weight.
