Well what's up everyone how's things? Well as the title says am new to the scene of mtb and so on. Haven't got my bike just yet be getting in next few weeks but wanted to get on somewhere like here for some pointers and tips.
Also like to get to no all use. As I am just starting off again I will be spending around 300 on a bike anno that's not much but want to make sure I will stick to it as much as I think I will if that makes sense and after 6 months if still going strong will be upgrading to better bike.
Sorry for all the writing anno it gets boring when people write forever lol. Anyway any help would be grateful on what to choose? Like should I get full sus? Or hard tail? What kind of helmet? And does anyone recommend getting a full face helmet? The reason I am asking about the full face helmet is thinkight be safer as last time I was on a bike I came of after fair bit of rough riding and busted my face. So opinions on this would help I was put off incase I looked like a plank lol. And what makes of bike would be decent of a start of bike?
Thanks in advance and I look forward to getting to know you all. Little on me is I am 24, haven't been on a bike in 8 years but when I was on a bike enjoyed every min of it and living at the foot of a mountain was a bonus
. But what I mean is starting off as getting a proper bike and biking proper and learning. Instead of when was young and dumb on bikes lol. Also enjoy working on cars and watching football and heading out with mates. Was in a car accident last year wrecked my back and still on the recovery. So wanting to get into biking and getting fit again. Am from Belfast.. (Northern Ireland) look forward to hearing from use

....with that budget i would go 2nd hand on a nice used Hard Tail though if you were lucky you could pick up a full susser in ridable nick for around the £400 mark to start you off etc something like a Carrera Banshee these can be had for not alot 
all you need then is some cheap shorts and a pair of black trainers or whatever so long as there not freaking white lol and waterproof lightweight jacket etc etc ...good luck!!
