ah...no I meant in the "lolzorz, single pivots"

I mean, it's no floating pivot 10" dh bike, I but I think they feel pretty nice!

depends what you plan on doing...I haven't ridden one but the br is supposed to jump (slopestyle) well, but to be honest, any other freeride/light dh riding you'd probably be better off with a bullit. Honestly, theres many other frames you could look into though, for that type of riding.

well for the price of the bullit i would consider a blindside instead of the br for more fr/dh stuff. the br is fine for fr/dh, but the bullit would be better. on the other hand, my friend ripped whistler on his br for a week and hit almost everything but the kokanee(sp?) box. although he did all this, im sure it would have been better on either a blindside or a bullit

spesh sx trail, demo 7, giant reign x would work as well, norco six/shore depending on if you're looking on the lighter or heavier side of things...really theres a massive market catering to this 6-7 inch range of travel

well are you doing more jumping like slopestyle riding, or more just freeriding with light downhill and shuttle runs?

sx trail, demo7, reign, are excellent 6-7 inch bikes and can handle almost everything the big bikes can, plus they are easier to jump and throw around
