good choice? and are trick easier to learn?

yeah definately a good choice i was influenced by freinds though, definately much easier to learn tricks that suit the streets and the parks, but arent as stable in the air, talking 6ft

well i have 80psi in my dj2 so it dont mover when i turn or pedal so its all good

Exactly.

The only way to get good performance out of a front sus bike is to dial it in so it performs like a hard nose/tail.
