Do you want to do just freeride or downhill aswell, because the bighits are made to be downhill bikes but have more of a freeride feel (correct me if i'm wrong). I have a bighit 2, its on lay-by and its taking for ever to pay off
. But i think they'd be fine, maybe look at the Norco freeride range to. But the bighits should be a good bike anyway, i'm getting mine for just below $2500 when the RRP is $3500... i'm pretty happy

yeah it makes you look like a post whore. use the search buton, if you cant find anything, PM someone. threads are a last resort.
Helpful!
If you can be arsed to bag someone why not just post something useful? If your sense of forum ettiquette has been somehow insulted by someone posting a question why not just move on and just not post a reply in the first place? Odd behaviour!
Anyway, the old big hits ran a 24" rear wheel some strange reason, I think the main rationales behind it were enabled a slacker front end but more importantly its viewed that at 24" wheel is tighter and stronger, just does not roll as well at high speeds. I think that the new BHs are all 26" up front. They're an OK bike for general riding and can dabble in the DH and FR scene pretty well.
Can't remember what the other part of your post was about but if you're looking for a budget FR HT look at the Norco FR range, Manic, Torrent etc. The Bike Shed Mortdale are pretty good stockists.
Enjoy the riding and interesting avatar, you're not a disgruntled employee of a certain German bank are you?!
