i have been looking at getting a mountain bike for a while and i have found these two bikes within my £500 budget, Norco Storm 9.1 and scott aspect 930, just wondering if anyone knows their stuff about bikes? not too sure which one to go for or even if there is any other bikes out there that are better within my budget thanks! links below

Voodoo Hoodoo is a pretty good bang for buck bike and a great starter bike.. wont do mental downhill tho.
also the carrera fury is pretty good too.

went for a look at the voodoo hoodoo today, very nice bike but looked a bit small next to me, all the bikes i have been looking at so far have been 29ers which seems to match my 6ft 4" height and well built/fed frame been to tweeks today too to look at the scott 29er and so far that seems to be everything i need, its just as bad as when looking for a new car this haha
