For an eleven year old, neither. Unless you're already an amazing rider and doing huge hucks, a hardtail is far better to learn on. It will help you develop skills much more quickly. Both will be hard to throw around and you'll just plow down the run. I'd say get a very short travel bike if you're set on a dually, but a hardtail would be ideal.

Good call Rolleyes . They're two completely different bikes, it depends on your style of riding. You can't compare apples and oranges.

Well, if you DH race, then obviously the Blindside will be better, seeing as it's a DH bike and the BottleRocket is a light freeride bike. They'll hold up equally well; Transitions are tanks.

Frames are probably similar value. Total cost depends on the build.

Why would you post this? For one, it takes way longer to get the info this way than just searching for it, and also if you care enough to post this when you already have a bike then you have no life and you don't get out and ride enough.

Probably because the Blindslide was originally designed to be DH bike and the Bottlerocket is short travel FR bike. If you don't know what you want, why don't you split the difference and buy a TR250?
