The bike in the picture does not have a detangler (Gyro) for the rear brakes. You’ll either want to have one put on or remove the brakes if you want to do barspins and tailwhips.
But I’ll be honest with you, if that’s the kind of riding you want to do, save up a little more for a better bike—this won’t hold up for long. It’s hi-tensile steel, single wall rims, loose ball BB, one piece cranks … you’ll end up having to put more money into it when you break parts.
This is the base model, it’s tbh barley a bmx, all hi-ten steel, 1pc cranks, 10mm rear axle etc. It’s very unlikely it has a linear brake cable so functioning brakes if you bar spin or tail whip is a no. Obviously everyone’s got their budget, but I’d genuinely advise to get a higher model, as this isn’t going to hold up to much.
