Not weight, Hi-ten is usually lighter but it is much weaker. When you get better it will become a problem for you.

I thought Hi-ten was heavier. But yeah, once you start jumping down big staircases and stuff like that, it will break much easier than chromoly.

Yeah, I believe Hi-ten is actually heavier as well. It's why my Fit frame weighs a ton at the rearend, where it's Hi-ten.
I found a coupon website for Danscomp. It's awesome you guys should check it out http://www.retailmenot.com/view/danscomp.com. So if i got the Kink Whip shipped it would be $328 with the 10% off, the 15% doesn't work. But with the Kink Whip i got the 13 month subscription to Ridebmx for $9.99. Then with the DK 6 Pack it would be $319 shipped. So its a $9 difference.

I used to think Hi-Ten was heavier but on the whole it is actually lighter unless the cromoly is butted, fluted etc.
Which should i get though. I want the one that is lighter, i know the 6 pack is 32 lbs, does anyone know the weight of the kink.

Most chromoly things like frames, bars, and forks are butted though, right?
Minichamp31, do you ride like street,park,dirt and all, i was just wondering because i thought you raced lol. But could anyone answer my question about which is the better deal? Thanks

I'm not sure about that, and I'm too lazy to look up the properties of the metals.
Can anyone help me which i should get and which would be lighter the Kink Whip or the DK 6 Pack, Thank everyone that has helped, Fit, Eightdip, Fed3ral, and Minichamp31. Thanks!

No doubt, you should get the Six Pack. It probably is a little heavier, but it has a full cromo frame which is really important. My frame isn't full cromo and it's going to crack as soon as I start riding again.
Yea, but i weight 80 pounds. I'm not going to be able to crack it. Idk why though, i don't really like the 6 pack, the Kink looks like it is a bit more stable also, like more newer. I'm not sure though.

I thought I wouldn't be able to break much either, and I've bent my bars, broken my pedals, bent my wheels a bit, and my frame is about to go.
But you probably weigh twice as me and like a foot taller. Or i could just spend money and put it into my Thread 1...

How about this? http://www.danscomp.com/101425.php?cat=BIKES
EDIT: Actually, I'm only 5'7" and 125 pounds.
Oh ok. 7 inches taller and 45 pounds more. Ehh, i don't really like the Stolen Wrap.
In the Dan's Comp catalog i found the weight, the DK 6 Pack is 32 lbs. and the Kink Whip is 27.8 lbs. so its a 4.2 pound difference which is quite a lot accually.

If that's what you want, then go for it... I'm just telling you from my experiences that a full cromo frame is always a good thing to have.

I do race, but I screw around with some street and I was building trails, but I need a different bike. I didn't realize it before, but my Dyno is too short. I have my bars forward a little bit and my knees still hit them.
I think i will go with the Kink Whip. But i don't know if i should get a BMX bike. Like if i'll regret spending the money which i do with a lot of things. I really want to get one, but yea. Thanks

If you liked it a lot before and you still like it, get one.

i can do 360 on a bike with 16 inch rear rim and 20 in the front, but i cant 180 my haro. Just get a 20 like everyone else said and get it complete.
I probably can, out of the little bowl. Ehh, i think i may just stick with my thread 1, i' mgetting better on it.
