Back in the day I used to rock out on mongoose only but now I see you can buy them in like wall mart for about 100 bucks . Are they still good or are they made shitty now.. What would be good to buy for around 300 bucks these days Ive been out of the game for about 12 years!!

 

STAY THE HELL AWAY FROM WAL MART!!!! Honestly, if you want to buy mongoose, go to a real bike shop. Don't go to a toy store like Toyz r us, or walmart or the like. They are cheap knock off's, and you can't even find them on mongoose.com. I used those bikes as cheap beaters when I was learning, but one small crash would do them in. Some arn't even put together right, so you have to take it back, or take it to an actual bike shop were the guy will laugh at you and ask you why did you do that?
Seriously, go to a real bike shop, you can get a decent bike for around $300, but you might spend more, but it is VERY worth it!! I spent $700 on mine,

 

mine was $274

 

Haro, Hoffman, or get the DMC. Also, Fishbone is a f*cking AWESOME "underground" bike. Do a search on yahoo, maybe even try e-bay

 

how about www.trendbmx.com

Great people there!

 

im only 21 but over the years i sold all my old ****, the only thing i've kept is my baby that i can never get rid of, never, tho i havent rode it it months. P.K. Ripper fo life!

 

Skyway was the **** back in the day. My boy has an oldskool chrome Skyway hangin in his house. Back on topic Standard makes great bikes my brother is a big bmx street rider and swears by them.

 

I ride a WTP (whe the people) pony, flatland bike with a nice tan colour, wich is a lot cooler than this dull black version..
this works perfect for me its really well ballanced.. and you should easily get one for 300 bucks (mine costed 400 euro new)

 

get a standard tao, s&m warpig, kink has a nice flatland fram. i think GACK makes a nice frame still. there are a shitload of bike manufactures for flatland andi dont think anyone no's them all

 

Holy Shikaka!!! I forgot all about Skyway, I had a few of those things. They were the **** back then...

 

i've got a hoffman ep, it cost me about $500, they also sell a better one for about $800, well acctually i didn't see the ep on the website, so they may not even make it anymore, i haven't kept up as well the past few years,

i've barely ridden it since i started riding sportbikes about 3 years ago,

i'm leaving for school at the end of next summer and i'll be living in the city, so i'll be able to put my speed four in the garage and just ride my bicycle everywhere, i ordered a fixed gear rear sprocket for my specialized, so that'll be fun

 

man, fixed gears are so fukin fun man. i love that you have too physically lock your legs too stop. i used too train with some road racers that used them. nothing like clipless pedals and a fixed gear

 

haha.. I was going through my sh*t today and I have a pair of old Skyway Mags... LOL...

 

Thays too funny, I have one in my shed- a Skyway t/a with tuff wheels, I sold my Hutch Pro Racer. I can't believe someone only 21 knows what a PK ripper is (the famous Z frame). My friend is a pro BMX'er and used to have his own bike..... the Schwinn Blue Falcon. When I was a kid they were junk but he said they were great (when he rode for them).

 

TEam GT

 

i rocked the GT Pro Freestyle Tour Team model.

3 piece cranks and all that ****. one of the features of the bike were bitchin rims and hubs, that I ****ed up rebuilding the first time, then I rolled the 3 spoke mag wheels

 

i own a bicycle and skateboard shop

walmart = ****

 

for flatland I really liked the standard tao...then i switched to a khe....not even sure if they make them anymore...luckily i still have mine...but my dream bike that i just couldnt afford was the GT Pro Freestyle Tour Team model.

heres the khe

 

and heres the gt show frame

 

them KHE's are goood!!!
