First Racing Bike For My Son

First Racing Bike For My Son

We're looking to try out BMX racing. My son is turning 14 this month and has shown interest so I'm looking at bike options. I raced when I was his age, but the landscape has changed a lot. I'm trying to get the best bang for my buck and don't want to go to crazy because I have no idea if he'll want to stick with it after a season.

Right now I'm looking at two different bike options and the price difference is pretty drastic, so I'm looking for help from the community to decide.

I can get the DK local and I like the idea of supporting a local shop, but it's a lot more expensive. The Huffy is a lot cheaper, but maybe there are reasons to avoid it.
