haro x7, kona coiler, and norco six 1 are some bikes that i have found that are under that price i have looked into this for myself and trust me you wont find much. these are full suspension bikes though norco makes freeride hardtails for pretty cheep that are good bikes. the haro werx zero is also a good freeride hardtail for cheep. you could also look into used bikes. go to the buy&sell section of www.pinkbike.com you should be able to find some good deals.

Wow, It is rare to hear the words free ride and cheap in the same sentence together.
Specialized offers some good quality bikes at a decent price. Like the new Big hit.
I have heard great things about the new Giants and KHS. They are relatively cheaper than others.
I am afraid you are going to need more of a budget for a new 8" ride or settle for used.
You can also call around to local bike shops. They almost always have an older bike that never sold. They normally offer great deals on these.
EBay is also a great tool.
Remember when your flying threw the air.
You get what you pay for.
Good luck

Over 7" of travel? You want a motorcycle! You can accomplish a lot with learning riding technique instead of relying on the bike. But I digress...
Yeah, it can be done on a freeride bike but it ain't cheap. BUT, I agree with the above poster, look for a used ride.
Also, do your homework! Check out Dirt Rag, Bicycling, etc. They all have Buyers Guides once a year, and your library is lilkely to have at least one of the decent bike mags.

Take a look at the either the Kona Stinky or Coiler. Coiler if you want freeride trailbike and Stinky iy you want to go bigger. Both are under $2000 and come with solid components. www.konaworld.com

I have a Canondale F900SX Lefty for sale. It was given to me as payment for a loan that I made. I am not a biker and it just sitting in my kitchen. The bike is in great shape.
