Ive been thinking really hard lately about getting into the bmx thing. Ive noticed some trails over by my house on the east end...off williamsburg road....next to a so called golf course or sumthing...whats a good starter bike to get...ive been lookin on CL and saw nothing but haro and diamondbacks...and ive heard about FIT....any help? i was told to get a 21" cuz im like 6'2...

 

been tempted to take my kids overthere to ride there dirtbikes
just not crazy about the area

 

that track has been there for years. just in the past year there are some actuall bmx jumps. its a good place to ride.
im 6'6 and ride on a 20" standard frame. one of my buddies on here is selling his fit bike with alot of extras if youre interested.

 

i rode bmx for 4 years. kind of slowed down for a year then picked it back up once I got to college and moved to the city. Stay away from diamondback haro etc. Generally I don't buy parts from here, but for completes, they have some real good deals. www.danscomp.com a 20.75 or 21 inch would be good for you. Make sure it's nothing less then that or you will be crammed. Last time I checked out complete bikes, fit and eastern had come out with some good shit. i'll check them out and recommend you a few, it's been a damn long time since I checked out new shit haha.

 

yea me too...but I see lots of people there everyday....especially on the weekends....

 

yea let me kno thanks....

 

yea I was lookn at that site last nite...hott bikes...i didn't kno they run that much...guess its like the hondas...gotta pay to play....iight thanks...jus lemme kno wats a good one

 

fit makes a good frame, im pretty sure theyer still being built by s&m bikes, and theyve been building bikes for a while.

 

God I feel stupid to not know where it is, but where is this BMX track you guys speak of? LOL, I live in the East End and go down Williamsburg every day and have never noticed it, but I'm also not a very observant person (unless I'm trying to be).

I do know a small course we used to play on when we were kids. It's been at least 10 years and it was on private property I believe, so you may not want to go there. But it is a pretty neat little spot with a lot of nice jumps all crammed together. LOL, nevermind... I was just trying to find an address using google maps and I used the street view to get the clostest address... when I came around the corner on the map it appears they have tore that entire spot down and it's a construction site now

 

its on stony run drive. it runs between williamsburg road and government road in fulton hill. its call gillies creek nature area park. its right by the frisbee golf course
