Hey all. I usually hang out over on the Touring sub-forum, but I have a question about BMX. My son (about to turn 10) is interested in BMX. He rides a skateboard and a scooter at the skatepark and wants to start doing tricks on a bike. I would like to get him a used, inexpensive BMX bike from Craigslist or something. I would like to spend $150 or less. My problem is I know nothing about BMX. I don't know good brands or what to look for. Granted, my son is young and inexperienced and doesn't need top of the line stuff, but I would like to get him something better than a department store special that will break in a week.

I know how to work on bikes and can do any necessary repairs or part replacements that might be needed on a used bike. Any suggestions on which brands/models I should be looking for? Also any certain features I should keep an eye out for? Thanks in advance for your helpfulness.
