    The frame is completely unsuitable for a jump bike the fork would need replacing as well.
    it would be cheaper to just buy a jump bike.

    A stated, the only real way is to sell it and buy a jump bike.

    The GT Chucker is a solid bike that can be picked up for not much money, consider also the similar Scott Voltage YZ family.
    Currently riding a Whyte T130C, X0 drivetrain, Magura Trail brakes converted to mixed wheel size (homebuilt wheels) with 140mm Fox 34 Rhythm and RP23 suspension. 12.2Kg.

    I picked up my jump bike for £100. a nice haro thread 1 with marzocchi dj forks and halo wheels.

    then I realised I was crap at jumping and sold it :lol:

    BMX's are good fun for jumping and probably easier to learn on. Good for street riding as well.
