I'm talking about one that will give me the ability to pull off moves, but still be an affordable price, maybe around $150-250.
Thanks alot for answering!
Since flatland BMX is a nice within a niche (ie the least popular faction of a fairly smallsport) there aren't many complete flatland bikes that exists at all. The only one that I know of is the DK Signal, which is a decent bike that costs around $300 USD. From there the prices go way,way up, as good flatland bikes use a lot of very specific, high priced components (freecoasters toname one). Really though, you can set up almost any bike to ride flatland on - that's what people did for years before flatland bikesexisted at all. Get a BMX bike, throw on 4 flatland specific pegs (they're rounded on the ends and usually have something to aid gripping with your hands), add a detangler or go brakelss, replace the metalpedals with plastic ones (it will save your shins from becoming shinburger),and add a freecoaster. Then you have a decent flatland bike. Flatland guys are heavily into bike setup, and as your ride more your own system of bike setup will slowly evolve as your riding style emerges.

www.flatlandfuel.com is a good place for flatland info. I would also reccomend the 'Ninja Spin' DVD if you can track it down.
