Conclusion

I love watching Devon ride. Even though I’m not a crazy street guy, he does some mind-blowing stuff. This is the frame that he is currently riding. It is designed for a rider that likes to do a lot of technical street riding. If you like to do quick grind combinations and lots of spins, the Fuego is a good choice.

My parents bought me my first BMX bike in 2011 and it changed my life. This bike has taken me all over the world and introduced me to cool places and cooler people. My goal is to help get 1,000,000 people into BMX so they can experience the joy and freedom that comes from a progression based sport.
