Ok, i am a begginer biker, i'm not that good, i do more dirt then street, i can usually hit like 7foot gaps and such i can really do tricks though other then a tiny little bit of flatland, so i am working on street now.

I Ride an OLD GT Performer that has an 18"inch Frame, plus i'm about 5'10'' or 5'11'' and it is about 33.5 Pounds without pegs but it has a gyro and front brakes., atleast 6 years old for sure. And i am looking to get a new BMX, i could orignally afford only $420 U.S. but now i got up to $550 to spend, just got a paycheck and i don't think i want to spend any more then that, So i am just asking your opinions on bikes that i could get for around $550 no higher.

I was looking at the Fit TRL 3 2010 Flat red or the Verde Radia Black, i'll put the link right below it but like i said i don't know much about it. I DO NOT want anybike that is Black and Red, i am looking at the the Fit TRL 3 Flat red because it is unique in my opinion and you don;'t see a dude riding bright ass red and gold now a days.

I say this because i biked around my old school for a bit and it got other kids into BMX and they are like from grade 6 - 8 and they all go out and buy $700 black and red Subrosa's (CAD currency). Same thing happened when i skated. Right now i live in TO Canada and around december 14th i go up to the state as my family owns a vacation house down there.

I don't want to upgrade when i buy a bike i just want a bike, the rest of my money goes to the Studio i am builing in my basement for music, So bottom line put your input on whats a good bike and don't give short answers, i don't want like the Subrosa malum is good, i like it,
give a reason for it and try to keep it among what you ride..

I would say the Fit. It has a much better part spec than the verde. This
a little bit more than you wanted to spend, but its the nicest.
