Hey guys, just a question for any BMX riders. I'm gonna venture into this hobby and wanted to know if anybody can recommend me a fourm, bike, parts, ect. My cousin is an advide BMXer and we are gonna start riding together. I was just wondering if anyone could give me some advice.

It has been a long time since I did any bmxing. Mongoose, GT, Haro, are all good bikes. I know Mongoose is still in the game, and I think Haro and GT are also. When you say street riding do you mean just that "street riding" or are you talking about tricks and freestyle??

I dont really have an answer for you, but I've also been thinking about getting a back, but probably a mountain bike...

I mean doing tricks and freestyle. I think mongoose has gone walmart because i've seen a few of their bikes there.

Mongoose still should be making good bikes as long as you don't buy the walmart ones.

Haro was still in the game 2 years ago. I hope they still are. I have a Haro Backtrail X1 that I need to buy a new tire tube for.

Ya, true about mongoose but I just can't stand riding a bike that can be bought in walmart. I know that they do make great bikes if you buy from a bike shop, but I got a bike from my cousin and I need to upgrade a few things. Craigslist here I come!

I would also stay way away from the Walmart Mongoose. Haro is the real deal if they are still in it. but if you do go to a shop and get a 'goose you will have a very nice bike.

I always wanted a 'goose but could never afford one, so if you get one think of me :happy055:

lol, na, I wont buy a goose because it's too mainstream. My cousin and I are actually going to custom build one. I can't wait till it's all finished.
