Ride Like a Ghost; Attack Like a Lion

What kind of mountain bike should I get?

I want to get a mountain bike. I’m not sure what to get, though. 

I’ll mostly be riding cross country trails. As there aren’t many mountains in Kansas. There is some good single track though. Full-suspension isn't a necessity, but I feel like it may be a better choice.

My budget is <$2000. So what should I get?

You own a car, not the road. (You probably leased it, too.)

Lately I've been training pretty much as usual. The problem this year is that beyond the spring training crits there haven't been any races in the area. One thing I'm struggling with is bike handling. Since I wrecked last July I've been shaky in turns. I used to be able to throw my bike into turns and now I'm always nervous that my wheels will slide out from under me. Any tips to regaining confidence? Thanks.

That time I stumbled upon the most amazing road.
