I was just wondering waht bikes u guys recomend. I was thinking fo getting the Bottle rocket but i was just wondering what ones i should think about before buying. I'm more looking at single crown and shorter travel for the rear.

yea i was thinking of the bass. The bottle rocket is pretty good price for the parts on it. And it wouldn;t be intese mountain shit just flow trails with jumps n shit

ya possibly my only problem with it is that i dont wanna blow the suspension cuz i put a bit of air in it to prevent bottoming out i did a 4ft drop to a sloped landing and very closely bottomed it out but that was a real low pressure

4x and bass are entry level bikes, they get the job done but aren't exactly high performance bikes.
