Im looking for a new mountain bike for urban stuff and also for trails. Does anyone have suggestions for a lightweight, all around bike thats good for freeriding and that kinda stuff? My stinky is a tank and weighs too much to do anything but drops

DJ bike or something similar. check out NS bikes for some sweet dj'ers or the transition double for something more all around

hardtail or maybe a full with lockout, but that may add to the weight. I find it hard to hop on to things with a full, it just absorbs all the energy

if i were you i would definitely go with a slopestyle bike. transition double, black market killswitch, banshee rampant, norco empire, specialized sx trail, doberman picshner, those are some good ones off the top of my head. also check out the mtb thread: https://www.newschoolers.com/ns/forums/readthread/thread_id/617414/page/1/
