I got one for 250 but havent used it yet. somethings wrong with the brakes.

I plan on starting to go pretty soon. Its a good exercise. My ankles are fucked up so I need to find a low impact activity to workout and mt biking is suppose to be really good.

Not trying to deter you, just giving you info, but I read that mountain biking fucks up your nuts and sperm. There was a study that found fucked up sperm with cysts in shit from mountain bikers, somethin like 60% of them had it. It suggested you get a mountain bike with great suspension so don't cop yourself a cheapie, and I wouldn't sit down on the bike so much when riding...

^^That's caused by the pressure of a bad saddle (seat) when you buy a bike get one with a groove or space in the middle it will alleviate the pressure. Also make sure you pick up a bike that is the right height for you I'm 5'6 and use an 18.5".

You can get a good bike for 350+ any cheaper and you will give up on ride quality "You get what you pay for." Stay away from mass production stores like wal-mart these are shit bikes and will regret buying one.
Heres what i have picked it up for 360 something http://www.diamondback.com/items.asp?deptid=14&itemid=219

Look into disc brakes you'll stop better when the shit gets tough. Check out www.mtbr.com and www.dirtworld.com they have bike reviews you can check out when you find one you want to buy..

I would recomend a Specialized Hardrock Probably the best mountain bike you can get for around 350-400 bucks. like cars they make new models every year. you can save alot by buying the last year model I did the same thing last year couldnt be happier.

I actually took that bike from my old house in redwood city all the way to hwy 1 to the 92 and all the way back home! it was nutty, thats not even a mountain bike ride, i was the only bike on the 92 and i spent the whole last night drinking my ass off till like 4 am, and i did the trip with no water. It took like 6 hours. I like specialized products so much after that trip i bought another 900 dollar racing bike.

thats crazy people used to look at me funny on my mountain bike riding up in the hills. Thats why i got the racing bike, i used to still feel out of place because i refuse to get the skin tight gay biker suit and the helmet and the shoes that hook to the pedals. I just go up there with board shorts and a wife beater and some sneakers i dont care about.

Now i'm in Arizona and its too fuckin hot to ride, i'm waiting for it 2 cool down

Used to mountain bike. I BMX now.

Easy way to learn about he shit, pick up an issue of "mountain bike" magazine or some shit...usually they will have articles on what to look for, cheap bikes that are good, etc.

Do *not* buy from Costco, Wal-Mart, Target, or some other shit.
