Most kids say they want to do tricks. When they would come in and say that I would ask if they want to do tail whips and decades or do they want to go vert?
That usually makes them really confused because they have never heard of those and have no idea how to do tricks on a bike. Sooo, I would then ask them if they plan on just riding with their friends and racing around the block and jumping curbs? I say skip the pegs, make your friends who dont have bikes hound their parents to get bikes then all your friends have bikes.

9/10 kid just wants pegs to give his friends rides. Its not fun. At 11, your average cheap bike weighs too much for them to do much more than a meager bunny hop or jump.

For context, I am an ex BMX racer and ran a couple of bicycle shops. My kids at that age had junior and expert (those are sizes. The most common are Mini, Junior, expert, standard, XL and XXL) racing bikes. They are lighter and more nimble than the average bike and kids can have a lot more fun on them.

Freestyle land, street and vert was all an evolution from BMX racers that were bored between motos and looking to do stuff on their bikes. Simple tricks like bunny hops evolved into 180 bunny hop to endo, to cherry pickers and once the gyro and oryg were invented and brake cables were no longer an issue, spinning your bars and doing decades and neverending tailwhips became the norm.

Not sure how GTs current quality is. I got my cousin a GT Mach One Mini when he was 6 for $350 in 1990's money. His mother still has that bike. Its been over 30 years. My kids used it some 15 years ago. Get the right bike and treat it well and it will last.

You will have to look at a BMX size chart to see what the recommended top tube size is for your grandson's height.

Here are a couple links for size charts.

I miss my young days of riding BMX with friends..

I still have my '96 GT Performer, '95 Dyno Air, and '01 GT Performer. the '96 GT Performer was my main ride for years and years then picked up the Dyno and '01 later on. All sitting in my basement.
I still ride my haro backtrail x3... Nyquist was my favorite. RIP Mirra... You guys were legends

What would the pros on BMX bikes recommend for a kid about 4'9"? All these sites confuse me. I thought I need to look for a 24" wheel bike, but it seems BMX goes by 20" standard? I'm clueless with bikes. Thank you for your advice!

I am 6'7 and I bought a We The People Audio, a 22" wheel BMX, a few weeks ago. It has a 22" wheel and 22" top tube. I added a laid back 300mm seat steam so I could sit more comfortably. It is a blast to ride around even though my wife makes fun of me.
Swap out the bars for some Perfect 10's or 11's- you'll thank yourself

It's all about the retro styles these days. GT needs to follow Haro and do the re-re. At my flatland club you only see Haro sports and masters.
