Dynacraft 18″ Next Surge Boys’ BMX Bike Review – It’s Ride Your Bike Month!

Level 1 expert

It’s an 18″ Next Surge Boys’ BMX Bike in Black and Green. The helmet is not included and some assembly is required. I think my husband assembled it within 30 minutes or so, but he’s usually handy and he makes it look easy.
