Hey this is my first post so hey,
I have a GT intercepter at the moment and want to get a new bmx bike im not new to the sport but I wanted some other people opinion. I am looking at the haro backtrail X3 and might buy it, it looks like an awsome bike but does anyone know a bike that they think would be better for dirt, street, and park?
THANKS

DO NOT GET A HARO! Trust me. My friend had one and completely hated it. Get a DK or Hoffman they also range around 400 bucks, and those bikes are light (30-34 lbs). The Haro Backtrail weighs around 38 lbs. In the long run, you will regret buying a haro if you go with that choice.

you should look into a dirtbike classic complete off of dans comp or something, you will probably hate yourself if you buy that haro.
