I'm starting out and I'm wondering what BMX I should get, I'd like it durable, solid and around 350-400 pounds, as Downhill is my main choice. I was thinking a RedLine Random 2012 @ 399.99 GBP or a KINK BMX Bike Gap 2012 @ 384.99 GBP.

REDLINE

KINK

Is this a good choice or should I get something else?

Thanks

Ben

I wouldnt bother with the redline.. Have a look at the stereo treble 2012, Premium Broadway 2012 and Haro 000 2012.

Would recommend a we the people, or if your willing to spend abit more you could build a custom. Always good to know how your bike is built!

Wethepeople are overrated. Good if you buy the high end completes, otherwise i wouldn't bother.

True, guess so for that price range, some of the new diamond back look nice, dunno how they ride though
