theres no reason to go out of your way to find last years fits. this years would be fine. also look at verde, WTP, colony. easterns are cheap and look nice but i've heard very bad things about their completes.

a race bmx for trails? scary...

WTP makes some nice completes, Fits also good.

Things you look for if youre serious in getting a BMX is a full Cro-mo frame and 3 piece cranks. Heres a link that should help you

BMX race bikes are so much fun.  They weight like 1 ounce and they friggin accelerate like you strapped on a v8.

My redline is probably like 8 years old.  Never did a damn thing to maintain it and it works perfectly.
