    :!: dont get the saracen :!: , the banshee sound better for your type of riding, the stuff is built for jumps so is not good on trails....

    Save up and get a proper Downhill Bike to do downhill riding on. If you're parents have a problem with the amount of money such a bike will cost, explain that it's a lot less than the hospital bill they would have to pay to have you rebult after one of the above bike (specifically the Saracen) destroys itself whilst you're riding downhill on it!
