BMX Riders- best bike?



My son is 8 years old. He has a mongoose trick bike that we took the pegs ect off and has been racing with that. I looked up the specs and it weighs 37.5lbs. Most bikes built for BMX racing are 27.5lbs or lighter. Will the lighter bike give a competitive edge?

I Raced BMX From Age 5-17...
I Road A "Redline" When I Was Your Sons Age
I Was Also Sponsored By "ANSWER" By Age 9
And Was 2nd Place In My Age Group/Region (TX)

You Want A Lightweight Bike With Skinny Tires
You DONT A Freestyle Trick Bike If Hes Gona Be Raceing!!!!
Especially Not A "Mongoose"
(There Too Heavy)
I Suggest A "Redline"
Go To Your Local Track And See What Other Kids His Age Are Rideing..
Have Fun!!!! Source(s): ME
