Hi all. I have a mountain bike, but while biking recently, I saw some little jumps and I've been fiending to jump off of them ever since. So I'm looking at getting a used bmx and a helmet.
HELMET: Like a good netizen, searched for helmet in the beginners forum and found that someone said "I would recommend a $30 Bell or Giro." However, that was in a mountain-biking context - can you get a low-end helmet if you're doing some dirt jumping?
Any low-cost specific model suggestions?
I ride a motorcycle so I know the importance of wearing gear...
BIKE: I'm looking at a used Redline Proline, Schwinn Pro-Stock, GT Interceptor... any reccomendations for solid dirt jumpers to look for used? I'd like to spend less than $130, as I'm just getting into this.
Helping newbs = good karma. Thanks all.
