F1c has everything you need. The parts stink. But if you ride around the block a few times it's fine.

ok even if the brakes only cost 20 dollars, how much would it cost to equip them. Would have to buy new forks or something?

Need forks with the brake mount things. Forks are in the 100$ plus usually.

I am probably going to buy the Haro F3 because it is pretty cheap, any comments on it. I have heard the rims bend easy. I will be doing mostly flatland. thanks.

If you're mainly doing flatland why don't you get a flatland bike.

What kind of bikes are flatland bikes? How much would a decent one cost?

EDIT: I have been doing some research and the Haro F3 has most of the features of a flatland bike, doesn't it? I have compared it to the DK Signal.

It doesn't have a freecoaster, which is pretty essential to flatlanding.

Basically, a freecoaster doesn't make your cranks move when you go backwards.

So on the Haro F3 if I go Backwards so do my pedals, correct? Also is there a cheap way to put one on it?

Yes, correct.

The cheap version of a freecoaster is to take your chain off... but then you can't really go anywhere.

ok just one more question, does the Haro F3 have a gyro? and if it doesn't how much does it cost to equip or can one be equipped? I almost have the money together to buy a good bike, thanks.

Or make a homemade one such as I did. I used an old coaster brake. The only thing that sucks is there is sooo much slack in it when you try to pedal again.
