Show us a video of your local trails, and tell us your budget. You're looking at $500 minimum (unless you get lucky), just to let you know.

I told Kyle Jameson (He's the "I love this sht" guy.) that that scene inspired you and he was super stoked. They all ride Scotts who make some pretty nice bikes for the money.

You want to do biking like that, or you're going to do stuff like that? I want to do downhill but I live in Texas and that isn't really an option so I got a nice XC bike because that's all there is locally.

Buy a bike based on the kind of riding you're going to do, not what you want to do.
