Pro Fail, you have to remember that there are people here who are bike shop employees and are familiar with warranty situations. What you are doing is placing every bike into the same category, your perception would state that if a DH/FR bike was to be used for DH/FR purposes, it would void it's warranty.

...This is silly.
Whatever, any bike save for a road bike should be able to handle a four inch curb. If the wheel smashes, then it should be replaced under warranty.

Well, according to some people, using a XC bike in a XC-esque situation voids it's warranty.

Lets see... I rode the XC trails at Dosset Trails GA (spelling on dosset is wrong I know) and rode on the back areas of the Airforce base... and... Checked the mail and went off a curb.
Apparently a curb breaks a mountian bike... I don't get it, and I'm rather pissed off/ discouraged from it.
I don't really trust my bike anymore.
It's a shame I'm alreayd looking for another one to get in the next year, but I don't want to hurt my parents feelings as they scraped the bottom of the bank account to get this bike for me..
I like haros reputation that it had in the BMX world.
I've been looking at the Haro Shift, or the Haro Escape sport.
Like th shift as it's dual.

If that is true ,you have done nothing that would cause damage to your bike. In the bike club that I run I have seen kids be a lot harder than that on their bikes with no problems.

I know, I've been, easy on this bike.
I beat my BMX to heck and back, several times.
I've actually tried to keep this bike nice.. I got pissed off last night when my friends brother knocked it over and it got scratched against a tree.
So I just don't get how a freaking curb devastated the whole rear of the bike.
That Haro Shift is looking better and better.
Affordable to..

I had good luck out of Haro. I had a swing arm crack in a weld and they replaced it without question.

I hear nothing but good things about heir higher end bikes, but until you're talking over about 1800 Aus. Dollars, you generallyget better bike for your money with a hardtail. Or go secondhand, you can pick some leet deals on the marketplace here and there, that would be my choice for a budget fully.

Yeah, that Haro isn't really specced that much better than your current bike. Do you really want another SR fork? 
I'm afraid you'd just end up throwing more upgraded parts at it... 34 pounds is a pretty hefty bike, too... $800 could get you a decent hardtail...or an even better used hardtail...

Scope out your local craigslist, the classifieds, look at your options and sit tight for a while, as opposed to impulse buying/lusting. Also, doing background research on bikes is a good start.
