The blindside is a pretty sick bike. It's a good downhill/freeride bike.

yea i would be so stoked if i could ever have that bike. im working for my dad, in construction 3 times a week for 12$ an hour. i got a bmx to sell 300$ in the bank and he said he might help me out a little to buy it but it will still take me like 3 - 5 months to afford it

would a large blindside be good for sumone my size?

They have their sizes online and I think it comes down to personal preference. i am 5' 10", 205lbs and I ride a small bottle rocket. I like the smaller feeling, gives it more of a BMX feel. Transition is a great company though, they really back their product and the bikes are extremely well made. Good choice!

You could also look for a used one. Therefore you can be out riding quicker.
EDIT: Youll prob want a large.

yea i was thinking large but not sure about buying used if i found a decent one for a decent deal then mabye i would consider that, but your right i would need less money for used and wouldnt need to wait for shipping if i found local because if i wanted one new i would have to order threw and shop which would take a fair amount of time

Here on Pink Bike you could probibly found one that some guy used for one season but has a bike specificly for DH,FR,DJ Ect and just used it as his DH bike so really it only has a few hours on it.
what for and build kit, fork are you thinking about?
