Kota's 24" P. grom. I know it's not a 26", but it does fit your Dirt jumper criteria.
My Atomlab Trailking. I'm not sure about the super high bottom bracket 13.5", but other than that, it's handled everything I can throw at it.
Also there's a few others already in the thread blaming Dave for making everyone want a dirt Jumper.

We are planning on going to the Draper Bike park Sunday morning prob around 9:30am. If you decide to show, bring a push broom. I'm sure a few of us can get those runs dialed.

WOW!!
That bike is killer, did you buy it as a complete or build it up? There is an Oblad looking down right now smiling.
BTW, I noticed your name, you wouldn't happen to be Greg Glenn by chance?

No bro my name is Glenn Grover. Thanks for the props, the bike started off as one of the ugly 2010 neon yellow SE/DC Quads, I had it powdercoated as soon as I got it and changed out pretty much everything on it. Still a little heavy but it rides killer man.
And if this makes Bryan OBLAD smile from the heavens I did something right !
Hopefully I catch up with you sometime at the track, I've been wanting to race for years now but keep putting it off for one reason or another.

Some pics my wife took of me today at DBP.
I tried out the expert line but after the 1st two jumps the corners got waaay too tight to hold speed to clear the rest of the jumps. I was ready to go for it but not able to confidently because of the design.
The place has potential but needs alot of tlc.

Cool shots, those trails look fun but "sketchy"

I picked up a 2008 Giant Reign X1 used on KSL for a fraction of what it was worth. I took it up & down the Temple Quarry trail today & the thing BOMBS downhill. It ate up the rock gardens like they weren't there. A little tough going uphill but a great overall bike. Also, after riding that trail since 1990, I was exposed to 2 "sercret" trails that peel off in different spots during the trail. Awesome stuff to be had!
