the first bike i got was a 120(us) dollar huffy. when i first got it it was fine but when i started doing jumps the rims started to bend and heaps of other stuff started to break. i accidentally dopped it down a quarterpipe and the frame cracked. the next bike i got was an entry level free agent it costed 200 and i bought some high quality parts for it(sprocket,pegs,handlebars) and i havent had a problem with it for months so what im trying to say is you get what you pay for the more you spend the stronger it is cheap bikes are just a waste of money if you are going to jump them cos they are just gunna break

Thats really uncalled for. There are a lot of people in the world who couldn't hope to get any BMX bike at any quality level even in the long term. You'd do your karma some good by not ridiculing those less fortunate. Being a person who grew up watching others take for granted what I could never have has really made my adulthood sweet. They used to laugh at me to, Now I spending my time at work smacking around ex cool guys like yourself with my brain. You should get one and grow up.

But yeah, don't jump on that bike bro.

1500us is not unreasonable for a bike built exactly as you want. I'm picky about weight distribution specially, I tend to try a lot of parts.

And don't shop at Walmart if you love your country.

first of all rice400 who ever you are just start saving up and buy a bike for around 300 bucks, you could get a decent bike for that much, or find some who wants to sell theres and buy it for even cheaper than spending a coupe hundred like alot of people. also is 490 too much for a rear wheel? its a mutiny cassette laced to a primo pro with titanium everything. its awesome but i feel like i spent too much.

Mutiny doesn't make hubs and the Primo Pro rims were never released because they were all defective, so... yeah.
