I'm looking for a BMX bike to ride around the streets/block with mates and TRY to learn some tricks since I'm not so good at that. I'm looking for a bike thats around $200-$400 and thats decent. I also don't want to keep updating the parts for the bike, I just wanna use it at stock. What bike should I get?

DK Six-pack. And I'll be different and suggest the Premium Solo. It looks pretty solid.

i think this has to be at least the 10th time someone has asked what kinda bike they should get since i joined this forum. its pretty much personal preferance. pretty much as long as it has 3 piece cranks and 14mm rear axels youll be fine. o yeah and integrated headset would be nice too. all those things usally come on bikes in your price range these days. and also im not an *******

full chromoly frame is the main thing you want to look for.

Is the Haro F2 a good choice?

no.

Why not? People are telling me it's good for beginners.

Then what is a good choice??

I cant get the DK Six pack/kink whip here in Australia, I'd have to fork out $600.

These are basically the ones we can get in Australia. Which ones are good?

wow dude. thats a lot of choices to be leaving to everyone else on the forum. id say, go out and ride some bikes. ride a friends bike if you can, see what he has. write it down if you like it. then go back to a website or your lbs, and get the bike that has the most stuff of what you want. something along those lines. in my opinion, its all about comfort and style. everyone has their won preferences. you know what im trying to get at?

I feel bad for you Mettalic.

Dude, there are alot more bikes to choose from.
As a fellow Aussie i'll help you out:

Ok, how do I put this simply...
You can't buy a decent complete new bmx in Australia for anything less than $500-$600.
The bikes you are looking at are all rubbish.

Ok just one more question before I'm out of this thread.

Kink Launch 2008 Bike
Price: $374.99 AUD

Would that be a good choice?

Yes it would bea better choice than no bikeat all!

id say get the launch. danscomp had them on sale for 170 and i was so ready to get one, but then they sold out. i was pretty disappointed. but its not bad i dont think. a pro can prove me wrong if theyd like. just when i read the stats it wasnt that bad.

Yep I went and bought the launch for $379 AUD. Quite happy with it.

nice man. hope you enjoy it. just keep riding then one day youll get the feel enough to know whats a good bike later down the road

Thanks man. Should I watch videos on how to do tricks?

III think so. i watch youtube all the time to help me get a good look at how pros and amateurs alike start out for 180s and stuff. man, this stuff is harder than it looks. the pros make it look like butter. so smooth
