My son who's 10 has asked for a bmx (probably a result of me & this site).I was wondering about building him an old school bike or buying him a new school one.From what I understand the geometry of the new bikes make simple tricks (bunny hops, rockwalks etc.) quite difficult to master & I don't want to put him off before he's really got started - if you know what I mean! I know the old bikes would still be up to the job as demonstrated by the Haro 2009 re-union. Any thoughts/experiences with your own kids would be greatly appreciated.
