^Recommend me a bmx bike that u like/would get, and ur reasons why. I stopped doing bmx 3 years ago but want to get back into it, so any help on finding a bike would be much appreciated. Also any online bike shops that you can recommend would be helpful, because all of the ones I know of are far away.

I currently have a fly frame, odyssey race fork, odyssey bars, odyssey 36 spoke wheels, LHD 28/10 with Ti spindles and axles. Get yourself a plastic seat and pedals. Id run brakes, but others choose not to for weight. For tires, an odyssey dirt front and park rear works well.

I'd just go to youre local Bike shop ie. mission or source
Just incase you dont like it you dont want to spend huge amounts on a bike and then to find out you dont like it

Not bad bikes, I like them. Prices aren't horrible on them either. Also, if you don't mind used bikes, try pinkbike.com/buysell

a couple of my friends have haros. They were super popular around here a few years ago but i haven't seen many of them recently. My friend has a stolen bike (thats the brand) and he says it's the best bike he's ever had. It's around 600 i think. But my other friend recently bought a brand called framed. It's super light and was only like 120. If you're on a tight budget then that's a good bike to buy.

get an fbm gypsy or bellwitch. i would stay away from eastern but thats just my opinion...if your looking for a complete i have absoulutly no recomendations but be sure you get solid parts, and make sure everythings sealed.
