bmx biking

My son is turning 13 and I want to buy him a bmx for the skate park.. but I know alot of bmx bikes are not capable of withstanding the harsh bumping and grinding at the skate park. I dont want to spend over $600 if possible. Something available in western sydney would be great!

Thanks

Try to get him a bike that has a 100% chromoly frame or a chromoly main frame (main frame is head tube,toptube,downtube,and seat tube) as chromoly is both lighter and stronger then Hi-Ten steel tubing of the same diameter and thickness.

Colony is a bmx company based out of Australia I believe.

FIT makes the FIT Park 2 and the PRK 3 and the FIT TECH 2.5

other companies to look into:

DK
Stolen
WTP (We The People)
Standard
Black Eye
Sunday (made by Odyssey)
Subrosa
Eastern
2-Hip
Kink
FBM
Macneil
Hoffman

does bmx bike riding mess up your skateboarding footwork? someone told me it does. and i want to start bmx but i don’t want to mess all my work on skateboarding

Never heard of that one. I know many people, including myself who do both and there hasn’t been any problems.

Me(20) and my cousin(15) are commited to starting a bmx biking company. What we have planned on right now is to start by fixing up bikes that people already own (taking it apart clean/replacing parts, and painting if the customer would like) but as we get more business we begin to buy used bikes fix them up and sell them (NOT as new, but as a cheaper alternative). As far marketing this we are banking on word of mouf and flyers but then increase newspaper ads and possible a website. And as of profits go we were thinking 25% between the two of us (for now until we expand hopefully) then the rest being re-invested back into the company to buy paint, parts, advertising,etc. Also we plan to most of this with out financing just straight ouyt of pocket which I know will tough but I really think we can pull off. Does this seem to be a good (rough) business plan? Does anyone who has business expirence have any advice? Thanks in advance.

Sounds like a good idea, but you need to put everything down on paper with real figures and real goals. Don’t forget about the tools you will need to properly repair different parts. Sealed bearings in cranks, hubs, and stems can require special tools/presses. Eventually, you will want to delve into parts sales. That is where your real mark-up will be. Also, consider a good location. Somewhere near a race track or a skatepark would be ideal.

You may also need some kind of insurance because you are working on other people’s property in some cases.

The Fox roots run deep in a number of sports — BMX, moto,and of course mountain biking. While the Fox Digit Glove is considered to be part of their BMX line, it’s one of our more popular gloves for mountain biking.
