If I were to get a slopestyle frame with about 100mm rear travel (probably a blk mrkt killswitch, ns soda, or transition double) how much travel should the fork have? I think I've seen bikes like that set up with a 100mm, but i feel like a 140 might be better. Advice please Thanks .

What i did to get over that fear was just ride stupid fast at the jump and bail mid air. I still cleared it, with my bike, just not attached to it. At this point I decided that they weren't that scary and falling didn't hurt that bad. So I just went for it from then on out.

ya, it would mostly be jump and what not, it just seems like it would be weird to run the same travel front and back. Thanks

Yes, it sound like you want a hardtail. Since you came to MTB from BMX, like me, I'm guessing you want something that's like a BMX bike, only bigger. As far as brands, NS, Transition and Black Market are really good, but also very expensive. If you have the budget, get one of those. Otherwise, look at Norco or KHS...

Everything looks good except the cranks. A friend of mine rode those on his BMX bike and snapped one of the arms in half pretty quickly, so I'd swap those out pretty quickly.
