Hi,

I have been riding bmx for about 5 Years now and decided that I would like to expand my extreme sports repertoire to downhill/freeride aswell however I have been plagued by a lack of basic knowledge.
My first question is should I begin with freeride or downhill and what, if any, are the differences between them.

Once i have that figured out, I will have to choose hard tail or softail, any advice on their advantages and disadvantages would be greatly appreciated.

I understand that I could get a lot of this information from Google but I think it will be better to ask here as quite frankly I will get a better answer.

All the best,

Robbie
