Hey there, this is my first post in the BMX forum. I decided I'd like to give flatland/street BMX a try, and am looking for a begginer flatland bike. I have looked at the Haro M5 and Backtrail series, and it seems like they are the more affordable BMX bikes on the market. Any suggestions?

All you need to ride flatland is a bike with 4 pegs, 2 brakes, and a gyro. The M5 or M6 from Haro should do fine for flat and begginner street.

Goodluck and welcome to the club.
