Redline 24 pro flight for a big guy

Just because a 24 inch is bigger than a 20 doesn't necessarily mean its going to be stronger. Just throwing that out there. But if you're set on that size I'd go for a Sunday Model C instead. Or even a Kink Drifter if you want to try a 26"

The Redline is a racing bike. Not really meant for abuse. Something like the Model C mentioned above would be better. Although the Model C is almost all hi-ten and not chromoly. There are other 24s that are similar but have better specs like the Stolen Saint XLT or the Colony Eclipse. WTP also make a full chromoly 24 but it is more race inspired than the other 2. There's probably a few others. Sometimes Subrosa does a 24. I don't know if thet have one this year. Verde and DK also but not sure about this year.

Get the Redline and ride with you kids. Pro bmx'ers are 6'+ 200+ and ripped. They generate huge power and take massive jumps. They don't spin in the air, to the bikes aren't meant to take high side forces. But straight ahead, over the whoops, you will have no problem.

Sunday model C is expensive and not top quality, material-wise.

And yes, bigger does not translate to extra strength always.
