Jordan T asked:


Im planning to start doing freestyle street and park BMXing but i’ve been wondering what kind of bike would be good for me to get. My price range is anything as high as 350$ or lower but im looking for a decent bike that suites what ill be doing with it. Im also 16 years old, 5’10, and 130lbs if that matters any. Thanks!

    These days there are quite a few good complete bikes for $350 that will get you started.

    Fit PRK1 (it’s about $370 but worth it)

    DK General Lee (for $240; might want to buy pegs for it though)

    DK Opsis ($340; pegs, front and rear brakes, it’s got everything you need)

    WTP Reason ($350)

    WTP Arcade ($300)

    I’d get a Fit if you can afford it, but any of these models from DK and WTP will be great starter bikes. My friend has a General Lee that I played around on and it was pretty good for the price.

    (The good thing with starting with a cheap bike is that you’re going to break stuff no matter which bike you get. So you might as well break the cheap stuff while you’re learning, and then move up to the nice stuff.)

    Get yourself a MirraCo fivestar option or intro. Those are good, light beginner bikes right there.

    this bike is a great price its VERY strong the only bad thing about it is that it weighs 30 pounds but untill you get the hang of BMX you dont really need a light bike its made for trails so its strong enough for anykind of riding and it will last a long time
    keep an eye on it tho it might get stolen
