    Downhill bike
    I want to start downhilling, and I need a good beginner bike. Any suggestions?

    Downhilling? You mean using a mountain bike?

    Better than average front suspension. You can use a hardtail for downhilling.

    Hmm I would think a hard tail would be an advantage in downhilling. Extra protection against falls :D

    I would only use a full suspension. When you take 10 foot drops on a hardtail, you seriously f@ck up the rear rim.
