I only wish I had the income to put more money into it.[/QUOTE]
Do you actually take it off-road though? If not, a road bike is a better option.

Coming soon:
On whatever the fuck you want :P
I've also switched to less treaded tires and took it to skateparks which is awesome, but I mainly use it to get to college and have a fun ride on the way there.
I was thinking of getting a dirt jump bike, how do these compare to Mountain bikes. I ride all over the place, on and off road. So yeah I'm not sure which to get.

Get an XC bike, they're light enough to not sap all your energy on hills but sturdy enough to survive offroad. 80-120mm travel hardtail
You could even consider a cyclocross bike, which is essentially a road bike reinforced for offroading. Limited suspension on these though, so I wouldn't try any jumps.
This is my current steed, Specialized Bighit 05 frame, various parts I've bought new and second hand (ebay :P)

its a bit of a strange bike really, combination of really good and quite basic parts as i upgrade each one at a time. does work very well though, can throw it down a mountain and have it survive (mostly)
dirt jumping is better, you get to fly through the air.
What would be a good light dirt Jump bike for under £300? Sorry I don't know loads about bikes.

A police car.
cyclocross is the mans sport. mtb is fun too though, although, I stray more to cyclo-x, bring a road rider at heart...
My wheels are a GT Outpost with disk brakes.

In that exact same colour.
I'd love to go bike-hiking with it one of these days.
I probably should've gotten something cheaper than a Giant XTC2 as my second bike, like a Boulder or something. Oh well, it was on sale. Plus it's a pretty nice bike.

Holy shit, the iron man is the definition of solid lol
Florida has no mountains/hills near me to ride my mountain bike, and half the trails are sugar sand (LOL CYA TRACTION) so you have to ride at 6 mph in first gear or go flying off your bike/slide into the sand when you try to turn. :argh:
IMO Down hill is the best, Its a lot more intense if your on a medium\hard trail
