why do people suggest that handlebars should be chromo for doing tricks?
what could happen if i used aluminum handlebars for tricks?

yeah, I've bent aluminum bars doing simple stuff like going down curbs. never use aluminum unless your racing. you don't necessarily need chromo. any kind of steel will do, but chromo is the best choice, and the most cost effective.
