ok, well i am stoked after finally going to a skatepark on my BMX. i'd never been to this park (camberwell) at all, and i was quite excited to find two linked bowls, several quarters and a funbox. i also do a bit of dirtjumping, and my current bike is a Haro Backtrail X2 with one-piece cranks. i would really love to do more urban/freestyle/whatever-it's-called riding, as i found it was relatively easy and a helluva lotta fun.
anyway, should i sell the Haro and buy a nice freestyle bike, or just upgrade the current bike?
there are a few probs with the Haro for this type of riding, namely the front brake (or lack thereof), the short stays (which mean that if i stick pegs on it my feet could easily hit the pegs when the pedals are all the way back) and the crappy cranks.
I was thinking of a Hoffman 900 or Kagy, cos i should be able to get em fairly cheap, but are there any other suggestions for a freestyle bike about $1000-1100 max (thats $500-550US)?
thanks
