Personally i would use any BMX to race. To be honest it's not going to make much difference to my speed be it a racing, freestyle or cruiser bmx.  :LolLolLolLol:  :LolLolLolLol:

They are very twitchy, you would be better off getting something designed for racing.

Just ask Flaz, if he prefers racing on his Torker or his Laserlite?

It's not really a stupid question,use whatever you feel most comfortable on. :daumenhoch:

I think a racer would be better suited but if you rode a freestyler all your life it might take a little time to get used to something else,a freestyler would be more durable than a racer if you're talkin old school stuff (At least US stuff). :D

Haro did build a bike called FST,it was meant for all round use...Looked more like a freestyle frame though.As said above,if you're used to riding a certain bike it may be worth giving racing a go on it..It depends on how seriously you're racing too...
