Not strictly a jump bike or anything to do with downhilling, but I use

my Felt Q620 HT to hit the hills. Just lower the saddle by 6 inches so

that I can maneuvre a bit more easily, and hey-presto.

 

 

 

Need to get my confidence up a bit before I tackle the big hits, but

I've been reading up on the specs and by all accounts the fork can

handle up to about a 5ft before bottoming out, which is pretty good for

a bargain basement! Also, the frame is as strong as houses...20090811_114522_IMG_6226.jpg

just a bargain basement Suntour XCM 100, but I'm looking at getting a Tora U-turn or Revelation U-turn in the distant future to make things a bit more reliable ITO ride life.

 

The fork hasn't bottomed out yet, and I'm a pretty hefty 92kg... Possibly down to the way I ride though. Try to be a bit smoother and land with both wheels.
