What spag said. The 08' Ollie is a shell of what it used to be.

The tubing they use is dfferent (not butted like last 4 years), the rear dropouts have been replaced making them a single piece, the toptube is higher (benefit to have a low top tube for ease of movement. As for the SC/DC thats why I said go Hectik, or Frantik. Similar price and designed around short travel freeride.

Im a beginner.. this is my first bike. My jumps are small, biggest drop I did was 3ft. To me, I think its great. Suspension is plush.
