if you are seriously looking into this sport, prepare to spend a bit of cash. it's not a really bad bike to start with but it's better to see what your lbs has to offer. try getting something used at a swap or at the end of season sales.

Downhill is the shit. I am in the same boat with most people, i don't have any money to get a rig. Well I guess since I live in Ohio, I don't really have too much downhill stuff, but we have a few cool trails. But I do XC and its just too damn hard.
Thats just my opinion

i like xc better since there's always a technical downhill part of it and the uphill part keeps you in top shape. a hard tail is easier to throw around when you are urbaning.
