Ok, so my son wants a new bike for his birthday, but there's a catch. He wants a "trick" bike as he says, meaning he wants a bike where the handle bars flip around and stuff like that. My question is this: How do I describe this to salespeople? I mean, I'm thinking that a "freestyle" bike is what I'll be shopping for, but then someone told me that freestyle doesn't necessarily mean it'll be good for a "trick" bike. WTF? Can anyone break it down for me in simple terms?
