Downhill and dirtjump are 2 totaly different types of riding. But I would suggest a cheap fully then, most likley used. Becuase you can dirtjump with a fully, but on some of the DH courses, I don't think you can use a hardtail very well.

You might consider a short travel 4X type rig. Something like the Kona Howler would work, but its not going to be perfect for either.

Throw the stick!!!!
It kind of depends on what you consider downhill. Do you consider downhill to be singletrack with rocks, roots and small drops? Or do you consider downhill as full out, big drops, nasty rock gardens with huge gaps thrown in?

Oh yea. Might be alittle rough on the DH tracks, but better for your skill.
