Best complete bmx is too general a question. What's your budget? You want a street/park or dirt bike? Are you planning on buying from a shop or mailorder? I don't claim to be an expert, but I have bought several bmx bikes over the years (I've got 2 boys and for me). You need to figure out what you want or don't want from the bike. Start with the frame...all chomoly or partial steel is ok? Me, I prefer all chomoly (incl fork). Do you want the gyro, pegs, etc? My boys primarily ride dirt, so we don't bother buying a bike with that crap. Running out of room here, but you can be sure 2010 is a great year for completes. Check out the WTP Envy, Verde Luxe (comes with Twombolt cranks!), the Fit sig completes are pretty sweet, Kink makes a great complete. I have to shop online, prices here in Holland are ridiculous so I haven't even researched Mirraco, for example. Good luck.

Hey did u do the big double up into the tree after this? Just wondering how you like it. We are re-working the drop, gradually adding more dirt to the landing.

Dude, what is that? Put some rollers in there at least so you don't get tired pedalling around all day.

Hey you asked about the 2hip bike. My son is actually going to keep it one more year.

I like your motivation. My 2 boys did something similar to get a dirt park built here. I have one suggestion though...use one of those online petition websites. There are some really good ones out there and are free. I think starting one here in PB in the open forum is going to just give you a bunch of clutter you don't need. Nice that you ask everyone their opinion or input, but trust me, you're going to end up with a bunch of nothing to work with. If you're going to lead this project, which is what it needs, you need to take charge of it and be the hammer. You know what needs to be built and why, so just worry about getting people to sign your petition. That's all that really matters in the end. When dealing with the city, they want an organized, dedicated, informed, articulate, person to deal with. Just a heads up. Rock on. And Ray's was built on the back of one guy investing his heart and soul (and money) into it...not from the city. The corporate sponsors came later.

You asked about the WTP Addict 08. A friend of my son has one for the past year and he rides a lot, mostly dirt but sometimes street and park. He loves the bike. He put some new parts on it, not really because it was broken or anything, just because...you know how it goes. He also had a killer paint job done to it. It's pretty light stock out of the box, very solid build. I tried to get my son to buy a WTP last year but he went with something else. Think he's going to listen to me this time. LoL. Good luck.

Friends

yer your right but its goin to take the rest of the year probs before it becomes really anything decent. but i have put all my money into it i just need planing permision from the council. they probably wont put money in because of the credit crunch and they have other things to spend it on but i have been practicing building ramps and north shore so by the time i have enough money then will be experinced it. also i have contacted rays and he said that i should contact an architect to plan it out and maybe 1 or 2 professionals to build it as if i make a botch job of it i might aswell of not built it.

Sounds like our worlds are very similar.I agree treking through the woods seems so incredible boring to me. I complain when I ride dirt jumps where you have to pedal. Can't imagine pedaling for hours. Give me dirt jumps on a hill, pump track or a skatepark. That's what I want.
