good bike?

Hi,

I am fairly new to mountian and jump biking, and have done a few trails, and use a heavy mountian bike to do small dirt jumps on which isnt very suitable. I was wondering if this would be a suitable first jump bike to do dirt jumps on?

Scott Voltage YZ 35 2010 Mountain Bike

If not, it would be much appreciated if you could set me in the right direction.

Thanks! (Sorry if i have posted in the wrong location, i am new to this forum.)

i wouldn't go for it, crappy forks and ect. better to buy a used bike, if your willing to spend around 400-450 you can get a really good used dj bike (dirt jumper).

Is this better/worse? btw im not looking for a professional bike, just one that will do a beginner to get good at DJ's
