I'm not sure I'm posting this in the right place, admin feel free to move it. My friends just purchased a Carrera and has got me thinking. I've always been involved in extreme sports, from skating and snowboarding, to BMXing. So I thought why not give mountainbiking a go. I've been browsing the web and like the look of the GT chucker. Baring in mind I'm a beginner, what bike would you recommend?

    depends on what sort of riding you plan on doing.

    if youre gonna carry on in a bmx style then a street/dirt bike would suit you best.

    or, if you want to go downhilling you need a DH bike. same for cross country, slopestyle, hucking blah blah blah.

    the chucker is an ok-ish jump/street bike, but it will suck the big one on trails and DH is an absolute no no

    The chucker is a jump bike, since you already have a bmx this may not be suitable for mtb - trails and paths and whatnot...

    What riding will you be doing, and what is you're budget?
