thats how i found out about it. i saw a murdered out one at wal-mart for $175 and came with generic looking gyros, full brake kits (front&back), small sprocket, light frame(dont know if it was chrome/moly), and everything else looks generic. it looked good but dont know how it performs.

I would have to say it is better than the Tony Hawk bikes, but I truly don't know

I'm not a bike snob but, any Wally World bike is danger. I would suggest against getting one. They are cheaply made. I seen the brakes on some of these and they are stamped steel, meaning lots of flex in the arms and no real stopping power. The cranks, if 3 piece are not aluminum/cro-mo, most likely mild steel. The headset/stems are usually 1" threaded, outdated and not the the best materials used for them. The frames are probably a lower grade aluminum, brittle and likely to snap. If not aluminum, mild steel or at the best only "one tube" made of cro-mo.
Our local bike shops would have the better selection, of course the price would be more than Wally World, most guys on here can give you a direction of where to get and what to get.

Fel, I hope this info helped. I only said these things cause you're not gonna just ride slow on a court and you don't want to buy something not right for your riding style.

"No sked aks kweschuns" Everyone here will gladly help out.

well, what i know is that i purchased a bike from walmart and the second time my son rode it the chain popped off causing him to go flying, fractured his skull/ fractured a rib, road rash and had to stay over night in hospital, bike specialist told us the accident was due to the manufacturer. Now does anyone know who to contact about having an accident on one of the hyperbikes?

thanks for all the info. thank god I didn't get that wal-mart bike.

I got a Black Label Luxstar bike instead. Its by Mirraco Bikes. its a nice bike and costed me a pretty penny. only thing I hate about is the brakes squacking... it makes a hideous noise and its hella loud too...
