honestly you can do dh on it but I look at your picture and your norco shore would be fine too. switchs are more of a all around black diamond bike. you can pedal it (somewhat), it has a high bb height and saddle height which are not really great dh bike traits. I do dh on mine but not racing merry christmas BTW
Hey guys! I am looking to buy a 2007 Switch. I am just starting biking and will be doing trails with lots of berms, rock beds and jumps. I also have a slightly aggressive riding style. Do you reccomend this bike for me?
hey i will give a switch with a slight crack in the head tube for free. it looks like its in the paint only.

I've ridden an '07 switch a pile of times when me and my buddy would swap bikes. Actually one summer I didn't have a working ride so when we went shuttling I would either drive or ride that. He had it set up nice with a good balance of plushness but flickability as it wasn't too heavy. If it's a good deal and fits you I'd definitely say go for it; they have quite the cult following. And also, Vanderham! 'nuff said.
