Mountain Biking - Bikes

I got a couple questions. Ok, I am going to be going on trails, but i'd like to do tricks and drop offs and jumps. So, are Full Suspension Bikes good for this?

Yes, full suspension bikes are good for trail riding, drop offs, jumps, and to a certain extent, tricks. If you are looking to do a lot of tight technical tricks, a hardtail would be better. And a hardtail would also be good for trail riding, jumps, and small dropoffs. The deciding factor I see is whether you are going to be doing more tricks or more drop offs. If you are really into bmx style tricks, get a hardtail. If you want to see how high of ledge you can drop off of, get a full suspension.

what kind of technical tricks are you talking about?

I was thinking of trials or bmx style tricks: hopping on rear wheel, skatepark type of riding, etc.

If you are thinking tricks you'd do on the trail like bunnyhopping, either type of bike would work, but with a full suspension you can pre-load to get more air, like when you bend your knees before you jump. Just a matter of what is more important to you, and the feel you prefer.

ok thanks, I like trying to get up on high things. lol if that matters. like big logs.
