You want a slopestyle bike.
Slopestyle is BASICALLY a midpoint between DJ and FR.
So go look in the slopestyle forum and check out some rides.

the orange blood is an interesting looking bike... available with air or coil shocks, 5 inches of rear travel. It come in freeride or all mountain builds. Take a look.

The threee you have named would be pretty good, i prefer the bottlerocket myself, but it's a bit pricy, try the SX trail? Sweet bikes...

I would buy this bike, and they're not expensive at all, I've done everything with this bike so far and love it

Hardcore Hardtails can go anywhere and do anything.
My bike with with a more expensive build to make it lighter would be the ultimate 'do it all' bike in my eyes.

Maybe a Commencal Furious with a cheap build. What's your budget?

i'd say any bike with 4 in the fron tna 4 in the rear, so norco xxxx, forgive me for forgeting the names i normally don't even take a second glance at bikes with less than 8 inches, SX trail, i know that has 6 but whatever, that sweet looking trek slopestyle bike, blur, and so on...

if your looking at a bike for dirt jumping as well as free ride get a bike with 4 - 6 inches travel and adjustable dampening as well as lock out options if that is the right terminology so i would look at a slope style bike

My sx trail seems to work great for just about everything.

cheers, my budget is what ever i can sell my bike for, its on my prophile, this is the spec, how much do you think it would be worth:
good condition halo tornado front wheel and halo SAS rear wheel.
good condition shimano saint shadow deraleur.
2006 norco 6 frame with dhx 3
trivative stem + bar, axon bash guard. scuzzy logic pro headset, 2006 maz 66 rc2 fork, hayes stroker trail brakes.

i havnt heared anything about the cannondale chase "soft-tail" that aaron chase rides yet, type it in on google, what do u think, good for slopestyle?


thanks,
ren
