I'm in the process of buying parts for a jump bike i'm going to build and was wondering what brakes would be best to use on a jump bike (Hydraulic)?

V brakes or Mechanical discs."Do not follow where the path may lead, Go instead where there is no path, and Leave a Trail."

Why?
more to go wrong. not as easy to fix when you bail and mess up.
gyros for hydros are expensive!
an Avid BB7 is as good and any cheap hydro (or better).
Do you really need brakes?"Do not follow where the path may lead, Go instead where there is no path, and Leave a Trail."

Absolutely no need for Hydraulics on a jump bike
mechanical disks are what you want
nice set of Linear pull levers and Avid BB7 - you can't go wrong!0
