AboutMatt Martin Expertise I know a lot about bike problems and solutions and can fix pretty much anything that can go wrong, from loose stems to wheel truing.
I can give some good advice about street and skate park locations in Britain. Tricks, trails or problems, take your pick!
Experience I have been bmx riding for about 2 years or so, I mainly ride street and park but I'm starting to build trails

Question hey i was just wondering if you could answer some things for me. I have a mountain
bike(with a dodgey wheel) and its really heavy n that, but im used to it but ive recently
realy wanted to get a bmx, ive seen the one i want its a mongoose mischief mag 2008. The
thing is im 6"2-6"3 maybe (im16). So am i simply too big for bmxing? I really hope not..
But anyways how hard is it to learn flatland tricks, just simple stuff first if i get a bmx,
and where can i find out how to do them. Youtube was pretty rubbish for flatland :(.
Thanks man. Oh yeah ir you have time can you tell me if the bike i want is good, thanks
again. Go to evanscycles.co.uk and onthe left hand side click on bmxs and go to mongoose
near the bottom. Its the light bluey one with black threespoke wheels its gorgeous!
Answer You want to look around the £300 mark if your learning as you will no doubt snap parts. The frame should be 4130 cromoloy steel instead of hi-tensile. Flatland is a difficult branch of bmx. You would need a longer frame like a 21 or 20.5 toptube, but try out different sizes.
