D'oh! Sorry guys. I'm gonna have to recommend that swing bike. There's one here that looks pretty sweet:

I agree that you can't get a good full-suspension mountain bike. But you can't get a decent mountain bike?? Really?! I wouldn't hesitate to recommend my DMR to anyone looking for a pump track, DJ, or urban bike, unless they planned on going HUUUGE. If you're lucky, you can find one on eBay for $500ish. Might get lucky finding an NS Holy also. And for many people's purposes, the
GT Chucker or
Jamis Komodo will hold up just fine for drops, and both of those are going for $400. Sure, you get a rigid fork with the DMR and NS, and a RST Launch with the GT and Jamis, but whatever, I don't think the OP is expecting an 831 or Argyle for what he's willing to pay.
