Bicycle will be for recreational use only. I'd like to spend $200-300.

I haven't owned or ridden a BMX in approx. 15 years. I don't know what brands are good anymore (back in my day, GT, Mongoose, and Diamond Back were state of the art...). What bike would you get for your kid?

Edit: he's about 4' 6", a full size BMX is pobably just a bit too big for him. I'm looking at the DK Tracer Expert (19" TT, 19.3 lbs.). Thoughts?

Thanks,
DR
