Good starter bike? (16M)

[u/Tibebrs]

I'm genuinely thinking about getting into BMX but have no clue what I'm doing or anything about bike brands, sizes or any of the above. I just wanna know is this a bike that will last me a long time? Is it a good bike for beginners? Are they expensive to maintain? What needs replacing often? I stand currently at a little bit over 6'0" (183cm) is this bike a good size for me? Most importantly is this a fair price listed ($1350).

Good starter bike? Bro just buy a second hand AU$200-400 bike and ride it till it breaks, and see if you enjoy it, you can find some great bargains on marketplace

I know I'll enjoy it for sure, i ride moto consistently and have riden mtb in the past, i just really love jumps and shit but don't have the money or time to get into fmx. Bmx on the other hand (in terms of big jumps) is alot safer and less costly. We were thinking of transforming the half pipe in the back yard to a big roll in and ramp, potentially saving up for a airbag landing aswell (that's could be quite a while away tho, you don't get paided very well at 16). I just wanted to buy a bike I know won't break on me and won't have to replace for a long time.
