    OK, Im thinking of getting a bmx bike, I will be a beginner, I like to buy nice frames and componets, but I know that I will be beating it up in process, so I dont need something super nice to start off with. But I have a question, here it is

    I was curious if any of you ride freeride bikes on bmx courses? how do they do there, do they perform like they should, or do they not belong, as a bmx bike would? advice please!!

    Next question, here it goes.

    What type of bike, or frame, and componets would you reccommend?

    Thanks!!

    freeride bikes at skateparks are a touchy subject like tricks on fixed gears....

    Yea I kinda figured that, I dont do any tricks on my fixed gears, I dont like ruining my frames or parts to do some tricks. That is why I needed the advice.

    Anyone else care to share their opinion?, Thanks

    I recommend S&M frames and Parts.... I had a 93 S&M Dirt Bike frame with a S&M Redneck, bought it used in 2007 and rode it until I got out of BMX. Held up Nicely...

    S&M was a nice bike in the day, but the new ones are cheap Performance Bicycle crap. They are owned by Fuji now if I recall......

    Wait, I thinl im drunk drunk. I am thinking of SE.

    I had an s& M when I was young...think it was a Holmes? does that sound right? nice rig. I also had an L&S creations that was my favorite bike.

    James:
    if you are just getting into it you are probably better off buying a nice used ride off craigslist. most people stop riding by their early 20s and you can snatch up some really good deals. don't be afraid to buy a couple of shitty bikes for parts, esp. haros. you know some one gets one for christmas, they start to kind of like it so they save up and buy a profile crankset.... then turn 16 buy a car and sell you their bike for like 50 bones. re-sell the ride keep the nice parts.
    then just wait for a new frame or complete comes up buy that fella!
