What bike to look for....

I need some help with choosing a DH bike for myself. Let's set the stage here. Let's say that I hypothetically have $1400 (proffets from selling my trials bike...>>>hypothetically<<< http://www.ridemonkey.com/forums/showthread.php?t=158401 ) to spend on the whole bike and I am only new to DH racing in the scene that I never competed however I have flown down hills for my entire life. I don't generally get more than 5-6 foot of air except the accidental jumping of huge jumps occasionally, I am about 6' tall and about 160 lbs and can do most of my own bike work with the exception of suspension rebuilds. I have always used Wal*mart bikes for this stuff so I am used to a rough ride with no rebound or compression damping, and I am not picky…..
Sooooo any sugjestions
