BMX
BMX is growing again, and now more than ever, there is a bike for everyone.
Freestyle:
Freestyle bikes are what frequent halfpipes, and skateparks. A more compact frame allows for mid-air manovering, and tight park layouts. Look for tough parts, and strong frames, so that your many bails won't take too much of a toll on your wallet. Most modesl will come with pegs for grinds, and gyro's for bar spins.
Dirt Jumpers:
If big air is your dream, chances are you will want to ride one of these. Beefy frames, and a longer wheelbase, provide durability and stability, for higher speeds and smoother trannys. Gyro's are standard fare for bar spins.
Flatland:
Flatland is the most technical form of BMX, with most of the tricks being done at ground level. A shorter wheelbase, narrow bars, pegs and gyro are all standard features.
Racing:
Racing BMX's are built to be light and fast. They have a longer frame for stability at speed, usually just a rear brake, and light wheels. |
