okay your a beginer so im gonna try n finish this right now... you dont know what you like get a freeride bike, there versitile, n unless your pics r miss leading your not gonna be throwin down threes n tail whips so a slopestyle bike is out of the question. DH bikes are designd for only one thing...going fast. Freeride bikes handle everything, n since you dont know what you like yet thats the best bet, get one witha wider wheel base though for better cornering n stability, so you can still try some DH. GET A SOLID FREERIDE BIKE. there case closed

the buy/sell has them starting at 1500 and it goes up from there. If you end up getting a vp free i heard that they ride better with a shorter spring so keep that in mind.

8 is pretty much standard for drops and dh... but when you pedal you dont feel that 8 inches of travel. there is barely any energy lost from your pedal stroke.

Theyve been used in the redbull rampage, so i can imagine them being very sturdy. My buddy has beat his to hell for 4 years but it still runs well... It is a very sturdy bike and santa cruz is an awesome company.

I have and i think you had the best advice imo... the kid just needs some help from people with experience, like you and i and pretty much all the other posters. Sorry for being a dick dude... it just happens sometimes.
