the frame with a dhx air 5 is about $2000 in canada, so $2700 for a complete is really good

2008 Norco Six 1.
Or wait until 2009 and get a Norco Five.

I don't know. It just kind of looks like a hardtail with extra suspension, good for that kind of riding. But I'm not 100% sure exactly what slopestyle is, I thought it was big jumps and stuff =p

just wait for the norco 5, likely you dont even have the money, (being twelve and all), so just wait another year, cuz the five looks sweet, or get a big hit grom ull probelly fit that and its cheap
