So I've been out in Utah for the past few months and I currently ride a full downhill bike and it's great..but I am heading back to Jersey soon and I am looking for a bike thats good for jumps/trails for around 1000$..I saw the specialized P3 and it looked sick for jumps but its a one speed..I'll take a hard tail but it would be nice to have a little back suspension..any suggestions for around 1000$? Thanks!

Yeah I’m doing used. But is there a solid bike for jumps/trails that isn’t single speed? Front and rear suspension (not full downhill suspension) I rode a specialized stump jumper and it was super smooth on trails and jumps but out of my price range

Yeah I figured...how bad is a hard tail on downhill trails...nothing crazy just normal trails
