24"/26" rigids

[pienano]

hey guys,
i am hopefully getting a new bike in a week or 2 and not sure if i want to go for a proper DJ bike or a street bike, is street riding easy to get into? anyways can people please post up pics of their 24" bikes or 26" with rigids? plain bike shots and or action shots are ok.
Thank you guys.

just look through PYR (post your ride)
and you can get bikes thats suitible for dirt and street, you dont have to have a dirt OR street bike

just get a decent pair of forks with a lockout and flood gate. or just xfirm springs in somthing
i ride fair bit of street but mostly dirt, i have pikes that i run stiff. considering manitou circus forks thoe.

60mm of almost rigid travel

^ running them on a norco ryde, also running pike 454's on a stp lowered to 70 - 100mm.

The pikes are light but sometimes feel like they are going to snap when I flatland the bowl (yes I have amazing flatland abilitys).

The atomlabs would run on the front of a freight train easily and provide alot more pop than the pike's. So much more I'm considering getting rebates (rigids) to try out!

In conclusion if your learning to ride I'd go for the suspension forks with 100mm travel as it will protect your wrists and ancles more until you get some flow and smooth jumping abilitys. If you are coming from bmx I would seriously consider something more rigid as you will appreciate and understand how the bike handles.
