The question of choosing hardtail instead of full-suspension and the other way around is very frequently encountered with every mountain bike buyer. In an expert language, the full-suspension bike is the one which has the suspension on the back, which is pretty logical, but the ones which don't feature any suspensions are called hardtail bikes. Some think the answer is very easy because there are pretty standardized branches of mountain biking.
For instance, you only use full-suspension mountain bikes for Downhill, the pace of the suspension being very big, the hardtail bikes not being used anymore with this discipline. Then, you only use hardtail bikes with Trial, but these have a special shape, the frame being specially designed and very low and some models not having a seat pipe. When it comes to Dirt Jump, Street and other disciplines which involve tricks and jumps, you usually turn to HT bicycles which have a very solid frame, which is also lower and shorter. There have appeared full-suspension bikes for these disciplines, too, but they aren't so popular. Last but not least, you have a new category of bikes, which can work both with All Mountain and with Freeride, these bikes being semi FSs with an average pace. The problems appear with those who don't know whether they want to buy a Cross Country bike or a simple one. The offer is very interesting, all manufacturers offering HT and FS models with different kinds of features.
There is a certain you should choose your bike, but this is another story. The main thing to know is that you need to look at everything it features and to the price, too.

Girls Mountain Biking: Catching Up With The Boys
One of the greatest appeals of mountain biking is that it is a unisex sport. Mountain biking does not discriminate on the basis of gender. Nor does it eliminate participants due to their ages or ethnicities; in its early years it was largely the domain of men and boys, but now women and girl mountain bikers are joining the fun in record numbers.
Girls mountain biking has begun to achieve prominence in the sport, thanks to the teams of girls mountain bikers fielded by many US high schools. High school mountain biking programs allow female students to master the techniques necessary to succeed in girls mountain biking competitions, and many of them are the equal of the male bikers in their schools.
NorCal
The NorCal High School Mountain Bike League, founded in 2001, opened up the world of girls mountain biking to Elena Spittler, who was the league's girls mountain biking champion in 2005. She joined the Berkeley High School Mountain Biking Team as its single female member, simply to prove that girls could succeed in the sport. She struggled to keep up with the boys during her first year on the team, but by the time she was a senior, Elena was trouncing some of her younger male teammates.
Two years after she struck a blow for girls mountain biking at her high school, there are now seven girls on the team, and the total number of participants in girls mountain biking for the entire NorCal High School Mountain Bike League has doubled.
The league now has a summer girls mountain biking camp and intends to host a girls mountain biking mini-camp in the first part of the high school racing season to help the girls competing improver their techniques and build their confidence. The league has made a commitment to these girl-specific activities, and is also training its team coaches in methods of recruiting and working with girls mountain biking candidates.
These girls mountain biking clinics and camps cover a variety of topics. The girls are required to maneuver their bikes over natural obstacles and down steep descents, learning the balance, dexterity, and bike control necessary for competing in cross country, endurance, and short course racing events. They are also schooled in bike maintenance and repair. For more info see http://www.mountainbikingreviews.com/Mountain_Biking_Dirt_Jumps on Mountain Biking Dirt Jumps
Girls Mountain Biking Clinics
The clinics stress the importance of preserving mountain biking trails, finding team sponsorship, educating the public in the positive benefits of girls mountain biking, and improving one's biking skills. They encourage their students to develop self-reliance and challenge them in the same way that their male counterparts are challenged.
Thanks to the efforts of groups like the NorCal High School Mountain Bike League, both girls and girls mountain biking have "caught up" with the boys!

which forks?
im deciding between rock shox argyle 409, gold label jump series, dirt jumper line, manitou minute, marzocchi drop off, or marzocchi z1 freeride forks. used for dirt jumps, street, park.
That's a lot of range to choose from. What travel do you want?
If you'll spend time with small street stunts and park riding, get the Manitou Gold Label or the Dirt Jump/Dirt Jam, whatever Marz is calling it now. The Argyle is a bomb fork, too. These forks are stout and stiff, and the shorter travel is what you want for that stuff.
If you'll do bigger drops or lots of dj's, again I'd consider those two forks, but if you want more travel check out the Dropoff or Z1, or the AM series. The Manitou Pike and Stance are worth looking at, too.
You'll tear up a Minute with this stuff, don't get one of those unless you're sure you'll only be doing smaller stunts. Even still, I'd look at another fork. I have a 130mm Minute SPV on my trailbike and it's nice, but I wouldn't use it for drops and jumps.
