I put out a post yesterday about a mt bike I found on craigslist, but, I should have asked this first. I've been toying around with playing in the dirt and not sure if I need full suspension or just hardtail. All I know is that the rigid mt bike I have now is worthless on anything other than a nicely groomed trail. The motorcyclist in me tells me to get as much suspension under you as you can (if I was buying a harley, I wouldn't buy a hardtail), but, the newbie in me tells me that I'm not going to be racing or trying to set the world on fire on double black diamond runs, so, don't waste the extra money.
Most of my riding will be on groomed trails, but, I found some nice trails that are pretty technical (based on my lack of experience) where there is little hardpack, you can't get through without going over logs, over baby heads, through streams, and a couple drop-offs.
