Hello,

I'm trying to decide on what bike to choose. I'm trying to stay under $600. I raced BMX as a kid and I'm looking for a bike with that feel but bigger than a 24". I also also don't want a mountain bike. So I have been looking at dirt jump bikes single speed. I will be mainly riding trails and small jumps with my son. I won't be doing any crazy jumps... I have found the bikes below. I don't know much about the brands and components since It's been a long time since I have owned a bike. What would you choose? Or recommend something I'm missing. Thanks for your help!

Hey what's going on, I bet you would have gotten a lot more and much better responses had you posted this in the DJ/BMX forum. That scott voltage yz.02 looks real nice but that has a rigid fork. I would look for something with a little suspension in the front something around 100 mm or travel. If you're looking to be under $600 range look for something used or, an older model on clearance. I happened to get an email the other day from Jenson with this in it. http://www.jensonusa.com/store/product/BI272R01-Jamis+Kromo+Bike+09.aspx
That's a pretty sweet deal. Also try looking in the bmx/dirt jumping forum, there's a TON of info.http://www.ridemonkey.com/forums/forumdisplay.php?f=61
