Im looking for a new bmx bike. The max i can spend is $300, nothing more. Can someone give me suggestions on what bike to get.

spend a little more and get a bike that will last, rather then spending less and paying more on repairs in the long run. Look at the Dk Helio.

DK Helio for $350 or look for the DK 6-Pack on Amazon like some other people did.

spend a little more or find a higher end last year model bike for cheaper. you will thank your wallet in the long run. at least if you plan to actually ride the bike and get good.

or look at some of the fits like the TRL1,PRK1,STR1 or look at the 2-Hip Bizzle or 2-Hip Forcedown. the Forcedown is 300 even w/o shipping

Already gave mine. But Dan's has the 2009 Kink Gap, which isn't the greatest bike but decent, for $260. Don't go for the cheaper Fits, they're garbage, especially for the price. I wouldn't buy a Fit unless I could afford at least the TRL3, PRK3, STR3, or anything better.

No, any suggestions for the same old questions?

Someone needs to create a thread with the current top picks for different price ranges.

Oh alright. But yeah I know what you mean. I would but it would prob take some time which I don't have a lot of. But maybe I will sometime. The only thing is everything is always changing and new stuff is coming out all the time. Kink already has their 2010 line out.

True. Alright, I'm in the process of making one right now. Might take me awhile.
