I have an stp zero, (07) its stock except I single speeded it and they are great. really strong frames that you can pick up pretty cheap and you can do most types of riding on them, especially djs

your going to want a cromo frame as it will take impact better and give you a smoother ride.

the.243 bikes are dangerously strong and very capable for dj.

i'm not sure if its been mentioned yet, but a banshee SCRATCH will be super strong and the geom is great! just a little heavy but u said u wanted strength right? you hardly see a banshee scratch broken and in my own personal experiance i've never seen one so what i just said was a guess lol . i owned one myself and it was pretty good

STP's are good but i dont like them because they do not do a horizontal dropout option which make ss'ing it a pain

.243 DH
Avent Jibster

Evil Imperial

Banshee Morphine

Get some Bombshell Crusher wheels as well if you want indestructable - just don't let weight be of concern!

ive got a charge iron and it is idestructable.the geomatry is just right on the charge iron and they are soooo comfortable!!! and if you ride the rigid forks for a bit it makes it easier when and if you get suspension

Santa Cruz Jackal, best dirt jumping and street geometry, looks sexy as hell and can take more of a beating than some downhill bikes...

just as the name says... im a pretty agressive rider always trying stuff i cant do and most of the time crashing until i get it, so i need a bike that could keep up with me, i was thinking one of the specialized p series anyone think differently?
