Just to be sure, check out the jump park before you pull the trigger on the DJ. You wouldn't want it to be like the freeride bike, where you go to the park and realize that's not the kind of riding you want to do. And if you're buying as JUST a dedicated DJ, I'd still suggest you make sure that's really what you want. I bought a Norco 125 off Craigslist a while ago without doing much research and hated it...sold it and picked up a 24" DMR Drone instead, and like it much better. You can save time and money by buying the right bike the first time.

i want to do jumping and normal riding. thats why its taking so long to find somthing.
by normal riding i mean normal freeriding,,,,,,,,, skinnies,log piles, drop offs and what not.

well if you decide you wont be doing much park jumping the chase 3 will prob workout good. it is the same frame as the CO2 f series hard tails. You could always add al onger stem, front derailleur, gear set, shifter later if your riding style changes. or just buy and f series and put a short stem on it and take off the other stuff, that would be cheaper. you dont get the chase style frame with shorter chain stays and different geometry until you get into the chase 2 and chase 1.
