How are we supposed to help ..?

Give it a month, I always go through the faze of "I want to get a new XC bike!", but then after a few weeks, I've made my mind up I really don't want or would get enough use out of a Carbon XC, pretty much a spur of the moment thing ... But this could just be me also.

But really, how are we supposed to make up your mind?

What type of riding do you want to do?

 

[gloryjack]

well it depends on:
1) i would choose the one im best at.
2)the one im more passionate about.
3)the one i could afford when it brakes or just updating.

- i personaly would go with a downhill bike,
cheers and goodluck

thanks guys
i can afford both and i am passionate about both
i just cant decide which one to ride because they are both awesome styles of riding

If you got a street/park bike you would still be able to do dirt jumps and downhill. Also a street/park bike would be a great deal cheaper.
I couldn't imagine riding at the bowl very well with a downhill bike as well

yeah although dh on a hardtail is a little weird..
but thanks for the help everyone i think i have mad my decision
CHEERS

Don't think that I would do downhill on a street bike

 

[mitch58]

Just by a dh bike and hardtail and your problems solved nah just joking.

what?

you can afford both - so why not buy both?

you can't decide which one to ride - well when you feel like riding downhill, ride the downhill bike. if you feel like dirt jumping - ride the dirt jump/park bike

you confuse me.

i couldn't i decide ether :S

i got a dirt dj/street bike, and an aggressive all mountain bike,

but it cost a shit load to keep them up to scratch if something brakes,
good luck with ur decision mate

 

[mitch58]

Yeah I agree with Peachey you will have the best of both worlds if you buy both.

what i ment was i could afford both but not at once,
like i could afford a dh bike but not the street bike and vice versa
buts thanks for all the intrest and help!

why dont you get either a hardtail or short travel dual suspension bike with forks like Rockshox Pike or something so you can put the travel shorter for street/dj and you can adjust it bigger for dh.
