@zakurgay youre going to need an air fork, made by rock shox or fox, for those drops. it gets quite expensive. might as well buy a used FS specialized or giant honestly. i got mine for 700. (not the bike in the vid that was only $225)
@zakurgay full suspension on a diamondback is going to be pretty terrible. really bouncy and its going to absorb all of your pedal force. i would suggest taking your $300-400 and buying a used giant or specialized bike off of craigslist. going to be more durable and have better components on it.
Is that the diamond back response?

@groundpoundr cool. watch those rims, they become untrue easily. keep your tire pressures in check. 30 psi or so.
