Hello,

I'm new to the forum, from the East Brunswick area of central Jersey. I'm an ex bmx racer looking for a mountain bike. About 8 years ago I bought a Treck and rode it a little, a few times at Hartshorne and some trails near my house. The problem was I hated the bike, I don't remember the size but it was way to tall. I really need to get one bike that will last a while. I like technical type trails, not superfast but tough to ride, I would like to do some hills not crazy downhill but some challenging terrain.. I never rode a bike with suspension, but would like to try. I've been reading about different bikes on the forum, but it's hard to figure out XC, All Mountain, I dont know where to start. I could spend around $1500, do any of you have any opinions on what would be a good bike for me to look at. Thank You.

Regards,

Scott

Welcome to the spot. Jdog and crew are not only close for you, they are the local trail makers. I too, think they can kit you out quite well. Hope to meet you on the trail.
