I am looking to get the best value for my money.

I need a strong bike as I am a bigger-than-average guy, 6 foot 200 lbs, and I mostly cruise around town but I also like to do some jumping and park riding, so I put a fair amount of stress on a bike.

I was at the bike shop the yesterday and I saw some good looking Haros in there, the one I was looking at was the Haro Forum (the 400-some dollar model) Is this a good choice? Can I can something much better and pay the same or less?

I would like to have some experienced riders help me out on this one. I appreciate the help.
