Bike for urban jump / beginner
Hi everyone, I've started messing around with my cheap mountain bike and I think urban jumping is what I was looking for all this time. I just have couple questions.
1. Is dirt bike good for casual commuting (work, shopping etc), what I mean is, is fixed gear really the problem?
2. Is this bike really worth the money as seller says? https://www.ebay.ie/itm/Custom-Build-...item2a1e6414c0
3. For urban jumping what is better, locked gear (so when I pedal backwards, I move backwards), or bike with neutral?

If you were to ride a MTB fixed, kiss your knees goodbye. I'd give the two months tops, if they're in good shape.
