Redline pro line are probably the best off the shelf bike at the mo.

Kuwi's are also very good.

And the new Haro range.

Tall 8 year old will probably need a Junior or Expert size bike.

Redline Proline range around £300, Flight range around £450.

If you want to spend under £250, the DK Dart range are around £225 (I think). Plenty good enough for the occasional racer.

Just recommendations. As said, the Haros, SE, Kuwi bikes also pretty good.
