There is very little in them spec wise, all are geared towards cross country riding, rather than harder stuffs with jumps. You might want to consider something a bit tougher if you plan to ride hard, but the choice from that shop is limited.

Cumminsguy

Ok so what should I be looking for then if I want to ride hard the guy at shop said he could get anything

cooldad

Apart from the cheaper Cube, which isn't bad value, the rest are a bit expensive for what you get. And the pricier Cube probably isn't available as it's over the £1000 limit.
Sometimes you might be better off getting better value off the scheme, such as
£500
£600
£650
£680

All decent bikes. The Voodoo seems well suited to what you want.

Cumminsguy

Ok what would you guys buy if you were me

cooldad

The Voodoo if you want jumpier stuff (although all I know in Kent is Bedgebury) or the Carerra for the price.

Me probably the Decathlon or Boardman, I like to keep my wheels near the ground.
