Hey guys I have a Haro R2 and it's a good ride. I've had it for a little over a year and it's getting pretty beat. It's also a bit heavier then I'd like it to be.
I want to buy a new bike for this summer. I looked at hoffman, haro, and other brands, but can't decide what would work best. I ride BMX dirt tracks/jumps. What does everyone think is good bike for a decent price. (200-400$)
About a track. I have 5-6acres but can only use 1-2 for a track. I don't want a super long track, and It will prob. end up being a small stepdown(less then 10') into a double with 2 lines. One will be a longer launch(atleast 20') and one will be real peaked(about 12'). I'm not exactly sure if this is what I should do or not? How tall/long are normal dirt jumps? There is only 1 dirt track around(other then my friends house and here) and it's longest jump is only about 10' long and 4' high. Me and one of my friends both plan on trying backflips again this year after some bad crashes trying last year, so how tall/long is a good backflip jump?
Thanks in advance guys.

I see a lot of stupidity. You have 5-6 acres of land, which means you have a fairly decent amount of money, and you don't want to spend a lot of money on a race bike and intend to do backflips on it. If you get a race bike, no matter how much you spend on it, you don't want to do backflips on it because backflips on a race bike = suicide
spend some money, get a good race bike for racing, and get a good freestyle bike for backflips... or just get a decent freestyle bike and race it too.

I do not plan on racing or buying a racing bike. Sorry for the confusion, but I plan to build a freestyle bmx dirt track. And having land means nothing when it's my parents... I'm still a broke teenager. haha
Anyone reccommend any good freestyle bikes?

DK Six Pack.

Whatever Fit, DK or Eastern that's in that price range should be great. The Specialized bikes are pretty good too, mine's held up well.

fixed.

No, broken, Eastern is fine. Just because they make a frame that pushes the envelope, that doesn't mean they suck.

Haha. I just don't like Eastern because I've heard bad things about them (especially their hubs). I wouldn't buy an Eastern complete because the back hub like self-destructs.

They look nice. If a bike does not have a 4130 frame is it still okay?
