I looked at something similar on eBay a couple years ago, fun downhill but hella heavy going uphill. Those frames are alloy but it's like schedule 40 thick and the overall bike weighs a lot.

If you decide you like riding after trying it out a bit, you might look for something like a used Haro Vector or Cannondale.

Not to be an ass but are you serious??????

A used Haro Vector vs this bike I got??? Its like comparing my H2 with a shopping cart. I have been riding for 20 years. Competitively in college and a little after. Have always owned hardtails and wanted a full suspension for downhill riding at our condo at WV ski resort.

Not sure if you know what the bike was I got or not. It surely isnt the best you can buy (wife wouldnt let me spend 4k and neither did I want to), but it is a far cry from the Haro Vector or many of the Cannondale full suspensions. I also used to have a Cannondale Delta V so I know about them as well.

Maybe you were joking and if so

And I really dont mean to sound like an assh0le. Just not sure if we are comparing apples to apples or not

Yeah I wish Dennis. Unfortunately thats a tad out of my price range. No its in Cannan Valley located in West VA (not Whistler BC ) Though that would be nice but not as convenient.

No I'm not kidding, you should get to a Wal-Mart and put a Huffy on lay-a-way ASAP. That way you'll have a nice "move-up" bike waiting for you as your skills improve

Damn, my troll skills are weakening. I do love my Vector though, hardtail and all, for the mix of roads and trails around here. It is Kansas after all.

I don't particularly care for Kansas. Not much to look at once you clear KC. And what's up with those tumbleweeds attacking my truck last time through there? That's fcked up.
