first off hi, im new to the site and to bmx...so new that I dont have a bike, and that why I'm posting. I am primarily a mountain biker, but a really nice concrete skatepark is opening up in my town about a month from now and I have decided I need a bmx bike to check it out. I dont know much at all about bmx bikes so I'm looking for advice. my budget is anything less than $300 but I want to spend as little as possible.  The cheapest option I have is a used GT Bump for $150. IDK what year model it is but it is in good condition. the only reason I am hesitating to buy it is that it is Really heavy and from what I see on the net it is more of a dirt jump bike. the other brands that the shop caries are: diamondback, GT, Haro, DK,. the other thing is I cannot base My decision on how the bikes feel because all Bmx bikes feel cramped to me because I am used to 26in wheels! If the bump would be sutible for learning to ride in a skatepark, It would be my first choice, but if there was a new bike fore $300 or less that would be significantly better I would get it.

peace out, and yea i know that was a long a$$ post.

firstoff, if the bike that u have currently IS a mountain bike, do anything but bring it to the park, it makes you look like one of those idiots in Florida that have the sandals and high socks(A.K.A. you look stupid). Two great bike brands are Eastern and Hoffman. And i'm also relatively new to biking and one thing i learned: whatever you do, DON'T GET IN THE WAY OF THE REALLY GOOD GUYS, i mean like the guys who are doing 360's and tailwhips.
