I want to start flatland, but I don’t really know a whole lot about it. Especially when it comes to the bikes themselves. Does anyone know like whats the best bike for beginners, and my max is about $500 give or take.

    It would be COOL to check out danscomp.com Spartan1—-they have a bunch of BMX rigs for you to choose and $500 will definitely get you a spectacular piece of the action—-also watch videos from digbmx.com! hummerhead2002

    DK Opsis is the best beginner flatland bmx you’ll find for under $500.
    Danscomp.com has them listed for $329.99 but in the checkout if you add promo code 39n5 you can get it for only $288.54

    It’s not a 100% chromoly frame but the front triangle is all chromoly,the seatstays and chainstays are Hi-Ten steel but still the bike only weighs in at about 27.7 lbs.

    It will cost you a little more at flatlandfuel.com but when you buy from Pat you support the flatland community which is a good thing.Also flatlandfuel.com has the KHE Militant F/F for $350 but it comes with 1 piece crank instead of 3 piece cranks.Then of course there is the OG Balance3 (again from flatlandfuel.com) for $599 but again 1 piece crank over 3 piece….hands down for the money the DK Opsis can’t be beat as a beginner flatland bmx….here’s some specs and a link
