Anyone into bmx`z advice

[Captain Starlet]

hey folks want to buy a bmx

currently taking a notion that will last 2 weeks and never be used again.

so i have a budget (money to throw away) of £100

looking for best place and best bike for this budget, understand i wont get anything amazing though needs to be able to handle the odd home made jump made out of the old shed round the back and not break when i perform a wheelie and fall off in amazing style.

thanks

If you stretch to about £150 mate you could probably buy a we the people bmx they're meant to be really good I know a few bmxers n they recommended me one.I have a mongoose at the mo it's ok but feels a bit heavy but feels nice to ride iv never tried doing any moves tho.try eBay for good bikes at good prices or gumtree

In my younger days ;-) I used to do BMX track racing. Most of us used Mongoose.
Good luck.

The only thing im getting at is to a grown man a 100 pound bmx will last 5 minutes if used properly, but if its going to be used to cruise about, get a cruiser lol

Don't go for ones in argos they're rubbish the best thing to do is look on eBay for a gt or mongoose bmx you can get them for less than a £100 And they're pretty good

I bought a new bmx from ebay uk for 75 pounds, it's lasted me a year, and i'm doing jumps everyday.
Only thing to break was the sprocket from a bail.

Have a search on there.
