Ditto on KonaRider's post man.... I ride with two other guys that weigh over 210 lbs., and we all three have bikes just alike, '04 HARO Xtreme's. We've throwed jumps and drops at these bikes, and they keep hollaring for more. I get more air time than my buddies ( I weigh 165) and have fatigued my Sun RhinoLite's on two occasions (hence the Mavic DeeMax purchase). The bike hasn't as much as squeaked.... BMX is tough on a bike frame, and HARO has long been a leader in that category. I honestly don't think I could break my frame, even if I tried....
A hardtail is definitely better at dirt jumping than a F/S IMO, and that Escape you have would be an excellent choice for upgrading, provided you like the bike & the way it feels 2 U....
It's the wheelset you have to worry about man, not the frame.... HARO RuleZ
Enjoy!
