BMX - Im new to BMX, and i need an ok bike.

My price range is kinda low, around 100-150 dollars. Im not sure if i can get away with getting a bike that cheap, but its either that or wait till Christmas =\. Right now ive got an Iron Horse Maverick 4.2, which in my opinion is an excellent off road bike. Thought the Bike is very good, it is a 26 inch and is a little to large to do any BMX on. As of now i am trying out no footers but the bikes suspension absorbs some of my jump power. I am 14, 6 foot tall, and 167 pounds. I was looking at some bikes at dicks, and this is one i was eyeballing -- http://www.dickssportinggoods.com/product/index.jsp?productId=2617762&cp=2367828.2716579.2712463&parentPage=family&searchId=2712463

Any help is appreciated.

EDIT: Also, what are good tricks to start with? And what tricks can you guys ACTUALLY do? (average person)

My friend has an Iron horse. He can do tailwhips, double barspins, grinds, catwalk, and spine/hip transfers.He is working on walltaps.

Catwalks are tricks for mountain bikers and the weak.

I can't do one on my MTB :(

that bike sucks.

Since when can people do tailwhips and double barspins before walltaps?

That bike is utterly dreadful. I would be able to break it in less than a day.

Just save up $200 and get the DK 6 pack. About 999999999999999999999999999999999999999999 times better.

Well i called my local bike shop, and they say i can get away with a Haro X1 or a Mirra Intro for 220. Looks like im selling my mp3 player =\

id take the mirra.

Yea i agree, the Mirra Intro looks better, i'll give some links too be nice.

i would spend 50 dollars more for a Option though.

Why the only difference i notice is Gyro.

3 peice

ill probably shell out 50 more for a gyro and a 3 piece crank, but i only can if the shop has it.

I only see the reason for the 3 piece. Gyro succks!
