Hey guys,
So I just got a 2008 Santa Cruz jackal in a trade, coming from BMX its a bit of a difference.
Looking to upgrade the bars, stem and seat first.
Any suggestions? What are some good sites for this stuff?
Im clueless!

www.plussizebmx.com is a rad site and so is www.the-rise.com for really good video content.
have fun with it
I'd suggest you grab yourself a 50mm length stem and some bars with a decent amount of rise. This will make the transition back and forth between the BMX and MTB a little easier. I run these but cut down to ~750mm width: http://www.jensonusa.com/Spank-Spike-800-Race-50mm-Rise-Handlebar?cs=Wh…
Seat wise, SDG's Apollo and Patriot have been go-to items in the dirt jump/slopestyle scene for years. They're durable, easy to grab, and not overly long like many MTB seats.
