[QUOTE="gxdragon, post: 665937, member: 36662"] You are not going to get a good quality bike at walmart. Mongoose when I was a kid was one of the better bikes from what I was told the company was sold and they no longer make a quality product. BMX has also changed over the years the bikes are specialized. I rode a 20" bike until I was about 18 (by the way it refers to the wheel size). There are several different classes of BMX bike they are as follows. -Race -trick/stunt bikes -trail/street The race bikes are light and built for speed and only have a rear brake, you can find numerous sizes in these bikes. They have minis, Jrs, standard 20" and a cruiser 24". minis & jrs are for small kids my 7yr old rides a mini. The 20" & 24" are for taller people the older croud tend to get the 24" bikes guys 30+. They are easier to peddle you don't have to work as hard to go fast. I stood next to a guy about 20yrs old about 6'3" riding a 20". The trick bikes are a lot heavier they are made stronger for the abuse they get. They have what we used to call buddy pegs for doing tricks and they have a front and rear brakes and a gyro to spin the bars without getting the cables twisted. The trail/street also known as a dirt jumping bike, it comes with only a rear brake and the weight falls in between the race and the trick bike. You can jump it and just use it for riding the street. So you need to know what you want the bike for before making a choice. there are a lot of good bikes out there some of the better companies are (but not limited to): -Haro -Redline -DK (relatively inexpensive but I hear they are good) -Trek [/QUOTE]
