I have a norco big foot. It's ok for dj, urban, light dh and xc. If your not racing i think you might as well buy a burly hardtail. I mean it just means you get more excercize over a shorter distance.

You can do DH during XC, unless I am mistaken. I have a 5 mile loop behind my house, and its hilly in places and then travels downhill for a solid couple of miles. And yes, I also go as fast as possible. I agree with whoever said get a hardtail, you don't need dual suspension.

We'll have you dead pretty soon.
