I'm actually really into the sport, and I usually ride my bike to school every day that i can through local trails, and spend as much time as I can out on my bike.
What I meant by "I'm kinda new to bike buying" is that this is the first bike that I'm purchasing, and wasn't given to me by my parents.
would i be correct to assume the bike you mentioned was the Feul EX 5.5

do you know how that would compare to the FSRxc (i'm asking just because they're the practically the same price)
