I had one and it was very very good until some SCUMBAG stole it.
But it got replaced with a Black market Riot so I'm happy

yes, definitely the carbon version.
The alloy (Or are they aluminium??) versions are just too flexy - the carbon ones are stiffer than Aldred following Nick_K

I rode bmx for years - street and park (never raced b4). I reckon youd probably prefer a steel bike like the DMR ex(alt) . if your a street rider make sure you get good wheels as the 26" ones fold a lot easier when you dont land straight (like from 180,360's etc). also get forks with a 20mm axel and preferably steel steerer tube + thick stanchons. its better to run a rigid fork til u can afford a solid sus fork than snap a tihs set and bust up your face.

I'm not going to be using it for that much street, just from time to time. Most riding would be offroad / trails and jumps etc. Good point "Jesus", busting up your face isn't that fun. STP 0 looks like it comes with a nice strong setup anyway tho
