You don't win a Nora Cup because you suck at riding and you're a jerk. People need to like you and you need to be ripping harder than anyone else out there. It's no secret that Dennis Enarson is the man. He can make anything he does look good. But he needs a tool to do it with. And guess what, you can own the very same bike. Contact a HARO Bikes dealer to see if he has one of the signature Dennis Enarson Haro SD's in stock and then make that decision. The bike won't be the reason any longer that the trick doesn't work. It's all up to you.

Like most 2017 complete bikes from Premium, the Subway comes in two sizes: 20.5" or a 21" top tube. But with the size comes a different handlebar. 8.75" tall bars for the ones prefering a shorter bike and 9.0" tall for the taller riders out there. That right there saves you on buying an extra set of bars in the right size. The Premium Top Load stem keeps the bars in place and the FAT Capitol Pivotal seat keeps your ass from getting sore. The fully sealed wheels with Alienation PBR rims will keep this ride rolling for a long time. Pricetag you ask? $439.99.

The HARO Downtown 18 is a bike that will get a youngster between 8-12 hooked on BMX.

It's hard to believe that there was a time when beginners had to move from a 16" bike to a 20" BMX bike. The 18" Downtown bridges that gap. It just makes sense to have the right sized bike for anyone, especially in this age group where new BMX-ers are born.

The Haro Downtown has the right geometry, just scaled down from the 20" version. Leave that up to the folks at HARO Bikes, they've been in this game since day one.

The word Pura could be added to the La Vida complete bike from Premium. The 2017 model shows no complications so you can enjoy life in the purest form full of good sessions with no worries. The joy it will bring to you for only $ 549.99* is a steal. Full chromoly frame, forks and bars as well as cranks, FAT 2.4 CK tires and 28-9 gearing to get you up to speed for that big gap. Worth looking into for sure at your local Premium BMX dealer.
