they are a bit out dated but if thats all you can afford than thats all you can afford. I ride a 99 warrior, its a little heavy and isnt the best thing for jumping but if you enjoy than its good enough. The people I ride with all have bikes that put it to shame but you cant go wrong with the price, mine was 500 bucks.

Warriors aren't the greatest for jumping when they're stock, but then they're not that bad either. How much is your budget? Because it would cost about $450 to upgrade your shocks front and rear to make a warrior jump much nicer. All it takes is a set of works shocks up front and a rear shock from a banshee or 2001 raptor 660. Even stock it'll be considerably better for jumping than the 250ex you had, the stock shocks on those things have very little travel, and feel like landing on really stiff pogo sticks more than shocks.
