but havent heard much of it
i saw one of those at whistler. they look like rad little jump bikes! cheap too! not as strong and reliable as the br though. best bang for your buck would be the br. sound prefect to me but ya.

I personally think the Intense SS is the best bike for all of that. It is meant to DJ and such quite well, and is very similar to the Bottlerocket, more so than any of the others. But the suspension really sets it apart, it will perform much better than the Bottlerocket on DH.
If i had the money the SS would be my choice, SX-T next, and then the Reign XO
the vpp dosent pop off lips as good as single pivot....not consistant like a single pivot but it dose take bumps and rocks better!
Oh k kewl, i dont really SS or Jump at all lol. I was basing it off the Fr standpoint.
And Nomad... erm no thats purely AM/Fr and DH if you set it up right.... Sick bike dont get me wrong, just not SS...
ya it just has a wierd pivot point for poping off lips. it takes away alot of the pop that you would have like on a hard tail.

ahaha yeh ive ridden a buddys v10! So sick, I can see how that would make jumps... not really work to well lol. Designed around taking the small bumps, which is what you need to take a jump.

get a used one? you can find them really cheap in good condition...
toss on some powdercoat, order some decals, it's a brand new bike...
