Alright guys so I know this is a real stupid first post but I dont know a whole lot about bikes and the shops around me as nice as they are arent much help when it comes to freeride.
So what would be a first good bike? Im not rich so Im lookin to only spend 500ish...which from what I can tell limits me to a pretty basic hardtail.
As for my riding style, I guess its kinda Freestyle Motocross on a mt. bike? Really lookin to catch some gnarly air and hit some tricks.
Ive seen some pretty nice Diamond Back HT's for my price range at Dicks (I kno not exactally a pro shop but they offer decent deals) Specifically the DB Response. Looks like its pretty beefy and could take a trashing and also has disk brakes.
My only concern with a HT is what are the general limits of a HT as far as what it can and can not take?
