Alright, that is cool... there is no shame in not knowing everything there is to know. I did not know where babies came from until I was 23.Big Grin

I know what he was trying to say.
soft tail isn't the right term.
it's full suspension, dual suspension etc.
No... wait, I was 24.lol
I got you, and what you say is very true.

Why suggest the Le Pink when it's not even out yet? Ghetto advertising much?

Umm... why can't I suggest the Le Pink, the bike looks sick, nice and clean. So what if its not out yet, wait a couple months. Last time I checked the chase softy wasn't even on their website, so get off my case.

Most FS 4x bikes dirt jump quite well. Thats until you start getting into the super-light weight race bikes. (which I personally wouldn't even 4x on let alone DJ)

I love my Double to death its the most rewarding and forgiving bike i've ever ridden.

it would work but its built for entry level xc riding, it may be a little to light weight to handle alot of abuse

I think if you started trying to use the cheapest XC dually for dirt jumping it'll only be a matter of time before you tear the headtube off.

You do realize that a soft tail and full suspension are not the same thing right. A soft tail has a small shock, usually one inch travel and no lower linkage bearing, it just uses the flex of the frame.
