Hello and thanks for looking at my post. I need help in finding the right BMX bike for my little brother who will be turning 15 in June. I would classify him as an amateur BMX rider as he has not done a whole lot of riding in quite some time. I would like to get him an excellent quality bike that will last him and will allow him to do tricks and just have fun riding. As far as my price range, I guess I would like to stay within the $300-350 range as this would be his first real BMX bike. He has had others in the past, but nothing of real good quality. This is where your job comes in. What brand do I get? Am I safe buying a package or should I buy the frame and all necessary parts seperately? Any help is greatly appreciated. And if it helps, I am in the Dallas area. So if you know of any shops in my area that offer good deals on the equipment you are suggesting, I would appreciate a heads up. Thanks!!

Well, with your price range, you can buy a decent bike. it would really help to know his style of riding. Dirt or vert? Street or flatland? I mostly ride dirt so that is all i can really reccomend. I would reccomend haro backtrail x3 or maybe a hoffman flow. These are quality bikes that will last a long time
