Hey what's going on?
I've just recently stopped skating like 4-5 months ago just got tired of it and I was declining anyway. But now I'm started to get into BMX after watching videos and stuff it might be something I want to start doing. Since I know absoluetly nothing about the sport. Some input on how to get started and some good parts to start off with would be nice, since none of my friends ride I don't know anywhere else to go to.
So yeah what would be a good size frame for me. I'm 6'4 and about 170 lbs.

For parts I would suggest Animal and Odyssey and as for the frame size for you I would say a 21inch toptube would fit good

if you have a local shop,,,skate, bike, sporting goods store, etc. take advantage of it. w/e the cheapest bike is they have they can hook you up w/. so long as they are faithful and loyal and dont aim to rip you off. this way if your bike breaks down you can fix them-sometimes as long as you buy the bike from that store, they fix it for free! but get something that you can take care of yourself though…cuz freewheels, standard loose BB sets, and single piece cranks…when they're shot-they're shot

If you guys cant find stores to buy from use the internet. Its gonna be pricey if you want a good bike on top of having it mailed. Websites like :

Get a felt 08 if your starting. Then progress to a fit or something.

Everyone makes mistakes. The trick is to make mistakes when nobody is looking.
