This is your bike, yes?



Looks like a solid dirt jumper to me. Just pump that fork up stiff and rally! Maybe swap out for some less knobby tires, a single speed setup, and only a rear brake.

For DJ...do what Brandon suggested. You keep mentioning "freeride"...if there is no scene, there probably isn't any terrain. For actual "freeride" terrain I would keep it as it is.

SS that Ruckus and go big!
