ok i have my P2 nothing is stock sept cranks and MX2 brakes which i havent had any problems with surprisingly
Manitou Flick
Mavic Crossland in front
Rhynolite laced to stout in rear (its going to be changed)
Race Face evolve DH bb
xt der.
xt shifter
truvativ hussefelt bar and stem (going to put deity on)
truvativ hussefelt cranks
E.13 SRS chain guide

I have a couple of options.
Keep the P2 frame
I got the prototype Cortina Triton Dual Slalom frame with my DH bike for free
I have a Sinister bikes Sponsorship so i could get the DNA for $550 but than could upgrade wheels or bars and stem or cranks or buy used fork right away
OR a Soul Cycles Loki for $100 (just a scud grassroots sponsorship) NOTE!!!! THESE PRICES ARENT THE ACTUAL AMOUNTS UNDER SPONSORSHIP THESE PRICES ARE AROUND WHAT I WOULD GET

I ride urban will jump sets every now and than for a video shoot. Street. Dirt jump a lot. and very serious 4X racer. Should I do one of the above or sell the Cortina frame and just keep upgrading the P2? IF i were to just upgrade the P2 what should i get put on it? NOTE: i always have trouble with wheels breaking already went through two sets, and the Flick doesnt go down to 90mm anymore sticks at 130

sounds like you have a nice setup on the p2. if you like the frame, why mess with success? but if you have other bikes to try, why not mess around with the cortina and see how that works. i wouldnt necessarily go buying a new frame unless theres a good reason to jump ship from what you have. and if there is something wrong with the p2, or just something you dont like, make sure your new frame specifically adresses the problems you had with the p2, or you may end up in the same predicament your in now.

those arent the exact prices of the frames undersponsorship only around them. I have had the P2 for over a year so its not like i just got it, i still havent accepted the sponsorships yet they only told me what i can do. And eh i accepted a Sponsorship from E.13 and i have the SRS ALMOST on order :)

you bought that F1 from syndasti right, you do know it is impossible to use an SRS on that bike.
