For the money, you can't go past it.

Just be aware that the forks are pretty average. Sure theres plenty of travel and they look ok, but the top out is just nasty.

If your dirtjumping chuck on some rigids or if your doing a bit ofeverything invest in a pair of shermans/flows and the bike will bepretty much set. Don't expect it to last forever but I will take adecent trashing...

dc fork on a dirt jump bike doesnt make much sense...

so as j5ive says, get a desent fork to go with like a dj2 or a manitou equivilent and you'll be set, failing that, there are few 250's for sale around the place, wich would make a MUCH MORE APPROPRIATE bike, being cromo frame and DJ specific bits to trick em out - about $1000 you'll get a sick ride aswell...

obviously its your choice, but make sure you explore all the options...
