I highly recommend that you test ride one before buying it. I rode one at Interbike and it was just too small for me. The one that I rode I think was Todd Bosch's bike which was supposed to be a large. It felt like it had a smaller top tube than a medium M1.
I am not saying that it is bad since the bike didn't fit me (I'm 6'0"). Lars is about the same size as me and he is super fast on the bike. He beat me at the Master's World Championships by a lot. I was having a hard time hanging onto his rear wheel during practice when he wasn't pedaling.
The point being is that some bikes are better suited for a particular riding style and body size. It didn't work for me, but it might work for you.

yea im 5 fot 11 and im gonna use it for mostly racing DH. its a small but its the same size as the med just short Headtube. also i know its a race bike but can it hold up to a bit of freeriding, and that im 220 pounds
im a big guy i just wanna know if i can huck with it too
No, you can not jump it
i wanna know if it will hold up to my weight
is the downtube bent from the factory??? I'd guess if you bend it they won't warranty it because they're supposed to be bent. 
Wasn't shaums march riding a chumba at the redbull rampage 2002? I'd say they can be hucked like any other downhill bike.

yes...you may start drooling :lol:
nice giant 
They rock.
Rode Shaum's at N* when I took his class. Feels a lot like my Giant, dosen't pedal as well, but turns like nobody's business.
On super rocky stuff they are a bit low. I couldn't keep the pedals from hitting stuff. He didn't have a problem. S'pose the major thing is where and how you ride.

That doesn't sound good. How long are you out? I was thinking of coming up to SLO once I get one of my bikes back. PM me.
