i never owned a bmx, i always did tricks on a mountain bike(very difficult) and now that i have this masterpiece, i love it. It came in the next day very early which i liked. It was a little complicated to assemble but it was my first time around 2 to 3 hours. 3 weeks into the bike and its perfect the pegs are heavy duty too and i like the design on them. im more of a long ride biker than usually tricks everytime so i swamped the seat since it got a little uncomfortable but yea i love this bike for beginners and i reccomend it.

There was some damages during packing, some of the plastic peices were broken. Nothing major, a reflector and a peice of the chain guard. Otherwise a great bike, my son loves it.

This is a great bike, but there will be some things that buyers may want to know.
1. You can't use the spinning handlebar function unless you remove the front break setup that the bike comes pre-installed with. To take them off the handlebars, you have to remove the grip, which is a pain. After disassembling the front break system, just set up the rear break system and it's good. There are instructions, however these could have been more customized for this bike; they are for several models - you'll have to wade your way through to understand what you have to do for this bike.
2. The seat is ridiculous. If you are buying this bike, get a new seat. Just look for diamond back bike seats, there are plenty of nice ones on Amazon, reasonably priced. Not a big deal considering the bike is as affordable as it is. Worth more than you are paying.
3. See two, the pedals are plastic and cheap. The quality is definitely devoted to the frame and other parts of the bike. There's no kickstand, so guess what happens to the petals if your kid drops the bike? Yep. Get another set of petals. Like I said in #2, worth it and doesn't injure your pocket book much. Look for diamondback petals, they have black alloy ones that are cheap and look better than the stock ones. At the price of the bike, worth it. I ordered new petals and the seat at the same time as ordering the bike.
4. There are four wheel pegs. Awesome! Thought there would only be two based on the picture. Nope.
5. It comes with stickers already on it! :-( Most of them peel off okay except the orange ones on the top center bar. Had to use goo-off, a ton of dish soap and a rag to get the adhesive left behind from the stickers off, eventually did, but I hate that. They should let you decide if you want the stickers on or not. Anyway, just make sure you do not use anything abrasive when trying to remove the adhesive as it will affect the clear coat.
6. BMX thinks chain guards are dorky. Take it off (see pic), removal is VERY simple. If you are going for a BMX, take off the chain guard, otherwise buy something else, because the chain guard is unnecessary for this bike (single gear, low profile chain position - guard is a waste of plastic; my thoughts? BMX felt the same way and didn't waste their time on making "nice" ones). Really, though, you detract from the BMX style when you have chain guards... just sayin.
7. Lightweight! My daughter loves the style, the color, everything. It is a great bike, and for the price, you kinda have to get it. :-)

The light cons are seriously outweighed by the pros. The bike is worth it. 5 stars because you just can't do any better for the price.
