Is it easier to do tricks on BMX bikes than on MTB bikes? Why?

It is not only easier to do tricks on a Bicycle Motocross (BMX), it is also cheaper on the pocket as it is a no gear bike and you can choose those made of steel. There are also more spokes on the rims so they will not be damaged as easily. 
There are also BMX with with alloy sport rims which make them even stronger for hard landings.
If they are not already supplied, you can install axle pegs as foot rest so that you can “stand” on your rear or front wheel as you perform your tricks.



While you stand on your rear wheel, you can do a 360 degree spin of your front wheel in mid air because the brake cables will not be entangled as they are routed through a gyro brake system.

Children from age six can start riding on a BMX because its wheelsize is commonly 20”. The size makes it easier to perform jumps and mid-air flipping and twisting with it. It will still be comfortable for children who have grown up to a height of 5′ 3″ to ride because of the top tube length, the higher handlebar and the way the seatpost bends backward. It is a bicycle that a child can horn his riding skills right up to adulthood.

BMX is a bicycle I would recommend parents who are looking for a low maintenance bicycle for their kids. It is definitely suitable for children who are rough riders or adults who like to ride over obstacles found on streets to perform stunts.
