Hey o. I think I'm coming out of denial that I can't ride BMX bikes anymore. Injuries and a career really hold me back. My back is destroyed (crushed vertebrae from a bad double truckdriver & a handrail [2 sep. incidents]) and I'm looking to get into a ride that is more forgiving and easier to ride on long trips. I think I'm leaning towards a free ride bike or a dirt jumping 26" bike. I'm looking to spend around 1,300.00 but if I really fall in love, I can go as much as 1,700.00. I know nothing about MTB brands. Does anyone have an recommendations? I want a short travel front suspension and a hard tail. Thanks, Off Topic.
