Should I buy a freestyle or flatland bmx bike?
-
I am complete beginner at bmx-ing. I am interested in doing both flatland and street/park (ramps, rails and the like) styles. Would a flatland bike work for both worlds? Can anyone recommended a website or bikes to look at? Preferably under $200 but if that's impossible than under $300. Thanks.

Answer:
I just had to answer to LOL at Jew K for saying 'flatland is almost dead'. Just because it's not televised doesn't mean it's dead, dude. In the European and Asian scene the flatland comps are MASSIVE. Comps held inside shopping arenas, even. Guys like Terry Adams and Matt Wilhelm are killin it in the american scene. Anyway, most ppl do try flatland then give up shortly after coz it's so hard and requires so much discipline 'n commitment. If you wanna try a good hybrid bike then check out the DK Opsis on www.flatlandfuel.com, it's a great bike for all-round riding including flatland and it's only $340 or something.

just get a freestyle bike with a short toptube ' flatland bikes are much twitchier and compact and very hard to use to ride freestyle, but a freestyle bike can be used for flatland lets say your 5'8" than you would normally want a bmx with a 20.75top tube so than just go for a 20.25 toptube to make it alright for flatland. if your taller than taht, get a little longer bike, if your shorter, get a little shorter bike yeah if you stick with bmx, your probably gonna jsut end up riding freestyle since flatland is almost dead :( dont buy a brand new bmx for under $300 cuase then it will be of very poor quality with bad components, your best bet is just to buy a used bmx for 200-300 bucks off craigslist...something that was probably about 400-700 brand new and doesnt completely suck
