I want to start riding trails and doing some small jumps (rocks and dirt). I have a cheap "mountain bike" but it will not do. Basically I want something durable, especially the wheels. Also I prefer a hardtail since they are cheaper and usually lighter. I don't care for anything flashy but something very durable for 300$ or less.

Also should I buy a bike at a bike shop/ sports store or off a person on cragslist?
What do about IRON HORSE QUANTUM II for 300$
