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 The headset/stems are usually 1" threaded, outdated and not the the best materials used for them.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.
