Can anyone recommend a bike or frame? I ride mostly on wooden structures and like to do a little bit of dirt jumping. I don't do anything really big so don't need full suspension -- looking more for something that will do this style of riding and will accept a dual crown fork. I'm 6'2" and about 220 lbs. so need a large frame. Any info and recommendations would be appreciated. Thanks!

you could look into the norco lineup of hardtails, like the manik, bigfoot, rampage etc. They are meant for light freeride. Or go for the kona stuff or cowan. I believe all of the norco h/t's accept dual crowns

like mentioned above, id suggest checking out the norco hardtails, i had a rampage and worked great for both djs and fr, but id stick with a single crown for what you want to do

Norco Manik... or look into a Brodie Holeshot or Bruzza. Only I would suggest is with the Brodie is to go with a frame from at least 2 -3 years ago... just check out there site and they have some frames from those years still online for sale

Norco Manik... I have one and love it, plus you get a lifetime warranty on the frame.
