Hi all,
I'd like some suggestions for a BMX/Jump bike that me n the mrs can play about on to improve our tricks n jumps skills on, to help with our general riding.
less than £300 would be preferable, given that I'd rather spend me cash on my XC.. an its gonna take some abuse as we aint skinny 9 stoners! 🙂
Thanks in advance!
if u look at 24" cruisers it may be easyer to translate the feel to a mtb than say a 20" theyrs plenty about u should find somthing in your price bracket

Commencal Maxmax, yours for £189 plus postage. Less if you come and pick it up 😉 Still plenty of money left for a good suspension fork if you want it. Can be run with SS or Gears.
only ridden to post office and back once 😳
I've got some we the peoples which are great value, on special at the moment. Email me and I'll give you some more info/advice
21" tt bmx. 20" wheel is bmx 🙂
look on radbmx.co.uk
I got donated a 24" GT cruiser (thanks Gareth) it's allowed me to go and ride BMX again wth my son and I'd forgotten how much fun it is.
It's also highlighted how lazy I've got with landing jumps etc. and sharpened up my skills.
i think theres a sunn bmix on ebay at the mo !!
Sunday Model C is designed to handle like a bmx but be a bit more stable due to 24" wheels. Apparently most 24" cruisers are rubbish for anything you'd use a normal bmx for. The Sunday is really expensive though.
Oh and Deluxe have a sale on at the minute, you can get their frames for about £150. They have a lower bb and slacker HA than most bmxes, so should make the transition to bmx easier. I'm planning on getting a Deluxe if/when I can afford it.
I've got one of [url= http://www.bike4it.co.uk/Shogun-Bikes-Special-Offers/Shogun-Chokuto-BMX-/Freestyle-BMX-White-Bike-Bike4it/flypage.tpl.html ]these[/url], barely used. Yours for a decent offer 100ish? or trade for a 20" kids bike,
I got a 20" trails bike by accident on ebay. Has been great fun playing in the street with my kids. Great fun and the bigger tyres mean no bottoming out when mucking around. Just like I remember BMX being from twenty+ years ago. Even caught myself thinking about a trip to the nearest BMX track (for the education of the kids obviously)once the days warm up.
fwiw i have a felt brink 24" and its awesome
(but im crap)
This could be a good deal for you.

I bought one of the premium's from rutland and its great,been on ramps
and tried the local track so far, great pub bike too!
I run a 24" Haro race cruiser which is still very BMX-like (quick steering and short TT compared to a MTB).
I'd be tempted to suggest a 26" jump bike instead, as it's more user friendly and stable for jumping.
Much cheapness here. I never ride it and need the space!
