In context: I’m a 46 year old father/grandfather, 5’6 170. I haven’t picked up a BMX bike since my early teens.
I picked this up today. Just looking to ride around the skatepark, hit the pump tracks, do bunny hops and maybe small jumps.
I’m starting to second guess this purchase. Feels kinda small. I didn’t do enough research and did an impulse buy. It’s “refurbished “ so I’m not sure the exact model but with some searching I think it’s a Mongoose Index 2.0 which seems to be a kids BMX bike.
Any thoughts or advice?

Do you know the length of the toptube?
Also, your bars looks pretty small….
Some specs from your bike would be very helpful!😉
Perhaps not the best choice for a bike, but fine to do some skatepark, bunnying and a bit of pumptrack..
Not sure how much you paid for this, but I’d say just give it a go.. If you still enjoy riding as I assume you did in the past, then eventually consider the purchase of a new bike, one that better suits your preferences😉
Or in case you have some money to burn, do some research first and then get something of higher quality and with better parts🙂
