Curious as well, looking into getting my kids bikes decent bmx bikes.
It *seems* like it’s pretty decent spec but- I don’t know the history of them at all. Good news is I don’t see them at any of the big box outlets so they’re not masquerading as a good bike, they might just be a label I’ve never heard of. Only thing in question is really the fork, but those are easy enough. For a beginner I say send it.
Staystrong has been around for a long time as a brand and only recently got into offering a full line of complete freestyle and race BMX bikes. I’ve seen the race bikes and they’re OK. I’m sure the freestyle ones are fine. Staystrong components and frames are good quality in my experience.
Stay strong was originally made by/with Stephen Murray to help with him after his incident
It was recently sold and Stephen has nothing to do with it now so no clue how good they would actually be now
IIRC it was mainly grips, tshirts and collabs with other brands when I knew them

Definitely a decent ride 👍 10/10 would buy.
