I'm looking for a hard tail mountain bike $300 or under the best one possible. Not a kids bike.
Answer
how hard are you riding this bike...if you ride hard don't even think about trek 820 or the 3500 they are very weak bike, the reason for this is the freewheel (the part in the back with all the cogs), the freewheel as it is know is VERY prone to the axles bending which can cause even more damage by bending the drop outs and that is not over under the warranty, you need a bike that has what is know as a freehub (or sometimes called a cassette hub) instead, it is much stronger. i'm not sure how much you want to spend but double wall rim are also much stronger the single wall on a lot of lower end shop bikes, I know the bikes are just a little over what your budget but it is well worth it for the freehub for the axle bending freewheel for the amount you are spending.

How to make money.. for kids?
Q. I am a 13 year old boy and need to make 2000 for a dirt bike i need to make in by summer 2010, any advice so i can rack up the cash?
Answer
walk dogs
pet sit
house sit
type papers
shovel snow in winter
rake
garage sale
have a bake sale
collect cans and return them at a store
teach seniors how to use cell phones or computers
mow lawns
online surveys - kiddzeyes.com or teenseyes.com get permission first
baby sit
bake cookies and have your parents take it to work and sell it
teach swim lessons to little kids
did i already say tutor younger kids?
car wash
weed flowers
clean out garages
clean houses
paper route
some places will pay u to work at a barbershop or something to clean up
go to the dollar store buy candy and sell it in the neighborhood for 2x the price of what you bought them for
buy old bikes, fix em, sell em
run errands for seniors
u might b able to work at mcdonalds (ive heard of kids who were 14 working there)
try to help out at mom or dads work and see if u can do something there for 5 bucks an hour
if u have an old psp or game system that u dont play any more take it to gamestop they will sell it used 4 u
GOOD LUCK!!!!
