A: This bike is not ideal for freestyle/trick riding. If you are an experienced rider then most of the mongoose bikes are good if you tend to wipe out a lot then you are going to want one of the great more durable bikes. All of the tony hawk bikes are excellent

As some of may or may not know, the BMX bike riding trend is now almost forty years old. A lot has happened since kids first started riding their bikes off-road in the early nineteen seventies. Perfection in design, new stunts, improved race tracks and terrains have all made BMX bike riding the Olympic Sport it is today. During the nineteen eighties kids where riding their bikes everywhere, not all had off-road track at their disposal to burn their fever for BMX bikes. Thus, BMX bike fans where often found riding their bikes in city settings like stairs, parks, sidewalks and so forth. By 1979 Freestyle BMX had its first organized team called the BMX Action Trick Team. But this was mostly an underground movement until the American Freestyle Association was organized by Bob Morales in 1982. BMX freestyle takes several disciplines in consideration, which make up the movement as a sport. These disciplines include street, park, vert, trails and flatland. The street discipline involves riding your BMX bike through the cityscape, across obstacles and terrain which was not initially intended for BMX bikes. Sidewalks, stairs and hand rails are among some of the most popular obstacles. In order to ride in this type of terrain, BMX bikes are especially equipped with pegs on each side, and few have any breaks on them. These customization are specially designed for street riders who will need to display some skill in order to perform the acrobatics required to successfully ride a bike in the streets. Vert is perhaps the most extreme form of Freestyle BMX known today. Bike riding takes place in a half pipe shape, about 10 to 15 feet tall. Each side will consist of a slanted slope facing each other. The largest ramp in the Freestyle world became known in the X Games, which is 27 feet tall. This ramp is designed so that riders may gather speed as they ride down one side of the ramp, and perform some kind of stunt as they ride off the ramp on the other side. This type of even certainly requires a high amount of skill, and protective gear is a must. Trails and Flatland disciplines are mostly off track roads made of compacted mud. Flatland, as the name describes won't include all the difficulties within the regular freestyle trail as they are designed for speed. However, regular freestyle trails will be bumpy and include some steep curves and slanted terrain. Thus, sometimes the trails discipline is also referred to as Bike Jumping. All the disciplines included in the Freestyle BMX sport require a lot of practice. It is also very dangerous, and requires the rider to wear protective gear at all times. Even professional riders are not allowed to compete if all their protective gear is not in place. For this reason, BMX bike fans are advised to go online and play some freestyle BMX games and use these online applications as a simulator before engaging a ramp. BMX games online are completely free to play, and won't require any initial skill or protective gear. They will allow potential riders to catch a glimpse of the mechanics before they actually perform a stunt. You will get a chance to see how the characters in these online BMX games will fall on the ramp, the same way you will when you try it.
Its heavy, and its a freestyle/jump bike. can i still use it for street bmx even tho it is a freestyle bike?
