Is it good?
Worth the money?
What are the forks like?
Is it heavy?

I'm quite new to dirt jumping so I'm not really sure if this bike is good?

    this bike is a good dirt jumper for begginers and intermiedients, it is a very good bike for the money(the cheapest ive seen it at) the forks are good for dirt jumping, most dirt jumpers use them, i think its not very heavy but not light so in the middle :? but if you change to singlespeed it will be alot lighter. :)
