In fact BMX can define as three style, such as Flatland, Freestyle, and Racing.
-Racing BMX's function of course for the racing purpose.
-Flatland is for play the trick on the flat floor. This is the linking for you to understand
what flatland is:

-Freestyle BMX is like skateboarding, you can do grind tricks in the park, or you can
do the air trick in dirt/skatepark. This is the link for you to understand further of
freestyle BMX:

Fat people surely can be the BMX rider.
Do you know there got many fat BMX riders in the world, and most of them quite successful. One of the famous fat rider is called Joe Butcher Kowalski. Although he is fat, but he can do many difficult tricks in powerful style.
想係沙田買, 咁沙田邊到有得買呀....
Tai Wai got many bike shop, I know the cheapest price of Haro can be purchase in the shop called 東京城. You can ask for the F series bike (here is the linking of Haro F series
http://www.harobikes.com/bmx/bikes/f_4.php) But I'm not suggest you to buy a BMX in there, it is because the owner is not a BMX rider, he hasn't got enough knowledge of BMX, at least I know he don't understand the different of Flatland, racing and freestyle. (please remember these three kinds of bike is totally different.)
Actually I suggest you go to MongKok X-emprie or DJBMX shop. Don't be shy to ask questions to the shop owner. They are very kind to answer your questions. Furthermore, you can tell them how much budget you will spend on the BMX, they will give you the good direction.
Here is those shops' address:
X-Empire: 65 soy street Mongkok Kowloon Hong Kong
DJBMX: 地址: 香港九龍油麻地德昌街20號地下 Add: G/F, No.20 Tak Cheong Street, Yau Ma Tei, Kowloon, Hong Kong
