So i have been riding for around 3 months now, and im getting pretty good. I can bunny hop and footjam tail whip and a few others, im learning how to 180 and feble grind. My bike was $99 from a local supermarket (i know... its ridiculous!) and im looking for a new bike to buy in the next few months. i want something that i can just ride at the skate park, on the street, nothing too pro, just a basic bmx that's good for the intermediate level.
My budget is around $200-$300
any suggestions about what new bike i should get would be greatly appreciated!
thank you smile

I'm calling massive bullshit that you can whip and not 180.

You are right... I thought that maybe the budget was tight...

Anyway, I know gt is not well regarded here, but if you can get a gt compe 2014 for cheap, I think is a good bike, at least the frame is full chromoly and if you are a beginner and you don't weight 260 pounds like myself I don't see why would you incur in any problem...
