My son has asked for a BMX to go down the skate park with his mates but I’ve no idea where to start. What should I look for (no more than £200) – Mongoose or GT a good starting point?

Would also consider second hand wouldn’t know where to look – any suggestions?

My Nephew (same age) got a Wethepeople which apparently is a popular make and decent. Various pricepoints obviously…..

CRC often knock out some decent deals on BMX as do Winstanleys i believe?

I would try for a second hand (good condition) wethepeople, Kink, or fit rather than a cheaper bike. I picked up a Norco for the lad off eBay for 140, never been ridden. He never uses it…..but I do 😀

Here rider owned and good guys http://www.radbmxshop.co.uk/

I have a Diamondback Furbar £140 plus postage. Sunn Rhino rims, Race Face Good’n’Evil grips, Maxxis tyres….all the good stuff and in full working order.
I had a rear brake fitted to go with the front.
Full working oirder and very good condition.
My email is in my profile if it’s of interest.

Try to find something with a full 4130 frame if possible so it’ll last – most cheap ones are hi ten steel. Although they’re not really “cool” bmx brands, specialized and giant have the 4130 frame and seem to have a nice spec. Get 14m axles if he wants to grind on it, will save loads of bent 10mm axles!

only one place to go..Alans.. Wigan No.1 sorted my daughter out so well i bought one for myself!

Monksie – any pics?
