best and worst bmx complete brands

Best: We the people Envy, Redline Column.
Second best: Walmart Mongoose, or one of those bikes that looks kinda like a motorcycle. Stingray I think they're called.
Third best: Koala bear
Fourth best/ Tied with first best: Wifi, Sunday, and some other awesome completes.
Fifth best: Any Tony Hawk BMX bike.

Like the guy above said, they're pretty much a Target bike, but I gave it a look over on the Target site, and they seem better than ur average Target bike. Usually, the dimensions, geometry, and angles of the tubes (top tube, head tube, chainstays) are not the same as reputable brands such as FIT, WTP, or Stolen. What this means, is that the bike will not feel like the other, more expensive bikes, to a degree. And believe me, an inch or two extra on a Top Tube can make a HUGE difference, if ur trying to do things like Hang-5's or even simple peg wheelies.
But in saying all this, I had a Target bike when I first started out, and it was great to learn stuff with, get me comfortable with the feel of riding a BMX after riding a mountain bike for so long, and it allowed me to figure out if I wanted to take up BMX seriously as a hobby/spor.. which I did, and then went on to buy a better, stronger, and more expensive bike. But that Target bike served it's purpose, and I leanrd some cool tricks on it, none the less, including Decades, and footjam tailwhips
If you just want a bike for transport, and to do a couple of basic tricks while riding it, get the Hawk bike, but if you want to ride regularly, at a skate park, or to bust some Flatland in a parking lot on weekends, invest some extra clams and get a decent bike from a bike shop. usually, anything above $400 Australian (which is about $300 US), is gonna be a good start.
And after all, you gotta ask yourself... is a BMX, made with the backing of a pro skater going to be any good..?? lol It's like Matt Hoffman making skateboards. lol waisted 5 mins of your life.

koala bear for the win, but really dude just borrow one of your buddies bikes. or go to the skate park and ask kids to ride theirs. its way cheaper and you dont have to fix it if you break it. "complete" means complete bullshit. just borrow YOLO

thnx bro

All complete bikes usually suck ass anything that has sealed every thing and full chromo is going to be your best bet

Diamondback high end completes,Redline, KINK, Wtp, Sunday, etc.
Full chromo, Sealed everything & 100psi+ tires = good

Stolen, Ive seen alot of Verdes go to shit aswell.
Hi ten, unsealed, 50psi tires (Stolen) =Bad

Give stolen a break, there high end completes are not far behind any other brand

Bad completes - Blank and Amity.

Best = wethepeople
Worst = too many to list

what about united?

I have the wethepeople justice, its decent
the good=integrated heaset, sealed bb
the bad=unsealed hubs, 25lbs, forks, bars, and frame are all part chromo, part hi-ten steel
all other parts are decent
there really isn't much good about it, but if your a beginner its a good bike since you can always replace parts as you go on

Why is it that Greenbastard was the only one to realize my list was only partially true, and the rest was pure nonsense, haha.

ya don't get a complete, just save up your money and build your own bike

2nd hand custom is always an option.

Wethepeople - Trust, Zodiac, Volta, Envy (The Envy is like full aftermarket "Pro Spec" bike!)
Fit - Try to get the Pro Models or the level 3 Higher Quality Models
Sunday (Pro Models)
Fly Proton or Neutron
Kink Liberty, Local (Ben Hittle) Solace (Tony Hamlin) Transition
Subrosa Letum, Malum, Novus, Salvador

As mentioned the worst bikes, there are too many to list! Stick with one of ^ Those ^

Or as mentioned by Zach, look into finding a second hand custom build.

One of the close locals bought a sinner. Bent the bars in the first 2 rides, Bent the forks within the week, Wheels died in 2 weeks, tires died almost ss soon as he got it & His Thermalite pedal snapped on the spindle. The thermalite pedals are an aftermarket pedal aswell so they shouldnt be as bad as stock parts. I know all these were stock parts but bars no matter if stock or not should NOT bend to -10 downsweep in 2 days. He does not throw his bike either. I know its not a high end complete but, its 400 $ & my old Stock kink whip bars have been through 3 people & havent bent yet.

Best Completes : sunday,fit,WTP

Worst completes : Verde,Stolen
