Frame advice

So the time has come where my riding style has outlived my frame and I need to do an upgrade. I have done lots of reading but are struggling to find suitable candidates for a frame. So I seek sompe advice... 

 

I am light weight and I pretty much have a freeriding style. Fast, some jumping, some riding, some crazy, and then just some normal trail riding. It needs to be a 26 inch frame. 

 

Budget, nothing above 10k. Something with a low front camber angle (I think its what they call it)would be nice. So not full downhill, but just off if you know what I mean. 

 

Any ideas?

HT or full sus?

 

If you're looking at a hardtail, try the On-One 456 Summer Season, under R5k new, slack angles, and can take a 160mm fork.

 

Full sus you'll end up with more maintenance and higher initial cost, but maybe look for a second hand Giant Reign frameset.
