having only recently got back into BMX, and still riding old school, keep hearing about how different new school bikes are, better to ride/handle etc etc, have tried a couple and apart from everything being set up lower, like bars and seats, didn't feel that differnt to me. Have also had a go on Wolfy's cruiser. can totally see the difference between Nu and old in 24".
Question is what is so different in terms of riding them? and what would be recomended for an eight year old, and something fairly cheap/affordable if i wanted to try my hand at new school for a couple of races for a laugh? Same question for 24", cos looking forward to next year and wandering where i want to focus, as old school is starting to get expensive trying to upgrade a cheap start off build to something almost competitive that i feel comfortable on?
