back in action - what to buy?
Few years ago I fell hard off a ramp and really $*%$^! up my leg. It's the summer again and I want to get back into BMX, but feel out of the loop. Not even sure what bike to get. I prefer quarter/halfpipes and freestyle - weigh 200lbs - 6ft 2 inches tall and 30 years old - but look and act much younger. Any suggestions on what ride would best suit me? Looking to spend between $400 - $800 US. Thanks

Glad to hear you're coming back to bmx. Do you ever talk much to the local kids? Around here atleast everyone AWLWAYS has a million good extra parts around. You could probably just leech nice parts off kids and maybe buy just a frame or wheels or something. We've built up a couple of bikes around here for people either free, or reallllllll cheap for people.
