Tell us what type of riding you want to do, your height weight etc.

im 14 weigh about 45kg and im a looking for an awesome cheapish starting bike i would like 2 get into 4x down hill and dirt jump and street pretty much anything

Personally, I'd go the Manil. You may also like to consider the Giant STP. No matter whether you see a lot of them around, they ARE a bloody good bike and I defy any one to give me a good argument as to why they are not.

i was thinking the custom fireball because the stp is really really overdone and u dont see many fireballs crusing down the street as mine would be

Yes that is true,
but i would say the stp is a lot better bike like johnny says,
even though people say stuff about them there are a good bike wheather there are 1000's of them or not.

My choice would be the STP. You are a small guy like me and i think the 13.5inch frame would be perfect.
The thing you could change on it though is the rims because they are shockers for street.
thats my 2cents,

-goodluck nat

Although, I would recomend the Manik. Personally I don't really like goose's, the fireball being no exception. The Manik would deffinetely be better on DH, also I think (don't quote me on this) that the Manik has better components on it. Also I thought that the fireball was more of a street and DJ bike.
