Every month at the minimum if you want it to last

Getting the blind soon, so when you say bi weekly you mean every 2 weeks or twice a week? Twice a week seems excessive.

The blind doesn't use a khe design so it might not even need to be greased.

So would you recommend a freecoaster for a beginner?

Definitely not, for a few reasons

1. It makes riding more difficult, and you will gain nothing from it.

2. They don't necessarily require more maintenance (You can go 4+ years with little to no maintenance), but if you treat them like a beginner would you will run into problems very soon.

3. You look like a tool when you have a freecoaster but can't fakie at all.

What ohian said but not as blunt.. If you are a beginer to the whole of bmx, itll hinder you most likely, its harder to fakie, youll hate the slack, and theyre more effort than a cassette. Get used to a cassette a bit more, then gst the blind (which is convertible to a cassette) and youll be fine.
