hey guys the title is pretty self explanatory.

I live in Winnipeg so its pretty flat here, but every year i go out west for a month, riding at silver star and cop, maybe even whistler next year, and i did the math, to rent a bike for that long is basically the same price as buying a decent fully off pinkbike.

i like to freeride, and a bit of dh (no race), and i want to be able to dj with it too.

i also really enjoy trails, i like to climb and such...

right now i'm looking at a 2008 six 3, what do you guys think?

I think that would be good, look into a reign X2, same price, a little lighter, and slightly more versitile (better park bike). I know i am gonna get bashed for saying that but watev....

yeah thats a nice bike too, although quite a bit more expensive. i think i can get my hands on a local six 3 for ~1000

i dont know what your price range is but a transition double or a empire 5 when it comes out would be sick

yeah dude u always reccomend a reign and yet uve never ridden one on a trail. but i wud say maybe a bottle rocket or even better an sx trail. the sxt is exspensive, but u can find used 1's for a damn good deal. check my pics i just got mine and loveeee it

yeah theres nothing really in my town but an old banshee scream

oh yeah, what do you guys think of the specialized pitch?

i know its not for freeriding but its a really nice bike in my opinion, and i enjoy all mountain type riding
