I have 7 and 8 yr olds that started racing at Sycamore Raceway in Simi Valley last March. Suddenly life is all about BMX. Their first few practices were on very heavy Mongoose bikes that they already had. I picked up a Crupi mini that is about a thousand years old for the 8 yr old and an ancient GT Mach 1 mini for the 7 yr old once they decided they really wanted to race.
They both just advanced to intermediate and are deadly serious about BMX racing. They are getting close to 75 lbs in weight and both their bikes have stickers that say not to exceed 75 lbs. So time to start thinking about new bikes.
I want to provide the best stuff I can but am relatively clueless about what the best is. I am also suffering from "cash for bike stuff deficit disorder" so tend to buy used stuff.
At the tracks I see mostly redline followed by intense, supercross, ghp, free agent, and a smattering of redman. What I want to get a feeling for is how all of these rank with one another? What bike do you wish you had?
