Bmx freestyle bikes?

Question

does anyone here know about bmx freestyle?

im 14 and i need a hobby, and bmx freestyle has always interested me.

i want to start but i dont know what bike to get. i already know about all the top brands like haro, redline, diamondback......

but when i see bmx videos, the bikes they use look really small and light, but when i went to the store the bikes looked bigger and heavier.

so are smaller bikes better? if so where can i find them?

what other bikes can you recommend for a begginer?

i can spend up to 200 dollars

also is bmx freestyle a hard sport?

and is it good exercise?

if you answer, thank you very much

Answer 1

First off, HARO SUCKS.  second, if you are 14, you need a 20' bike. That is the normal size bmx bike. Dont get anything smaller. Tell the guy at the store you want a 20' Fit or Dk or specialized fuse. THOSE are the leading brands.

Answer 2

most bike that you see in videos are 20 inch bikes some good brands that are good now are eastern, stolen, fit, we the people, kink if you want a nice bike thats light i would save up a little more money bmx freestyle is a diffucult but very fun sport and it is great exercise so good luck.
