one of the perks is that it would be bday present, so its not really my money. i just have to say this is what i want. however im riding it and yes i need a all rounder but im building trails this summer with a couple of buddys, and its mostly a DH course (on a mountain) with burms and jumps so i thought this would be a cool way of "up grading" for cheap. but like i said im the one thats got to ride it and thats why im asking opinions of what it is worth to others that would be in the same situation.

thanks
