24 cruiser suggestions
1) State your budget. $350-500
2) Do your homework.
REDLINE PROLINE CRUISER 2009
Haro Pro Race 24 BMX Bike '10
3)Don't buy an aluminum bike for tricks.
I do do some tricks, nothing amazing and I do want to start going to gate practice soon
Any other suggestions

How about a DK Sentry 24" $279.99? Only 0.2 pounds heavier then the Proline Pro 24 $489.00. If you want a chromoly frame, the DK Cygnus $289.99, is another choice, just add on 2 more pounds, it's 27.3. If you want a Redline, the T&T MX24 is the same weight as the Proline and only $339.00
Just noticed the Proline you listed was an '09, all the prices and weights I used are '10s.

I want to get one with a cog in the back versus a freewheel. And I am kinda partial to the 6061 frames. But if the weight is close than all is good.

Either way, having seen the bike in question I would hesitate to buy one, and after my friend had to replace the fork, on his shops dime, with a redline fork I don't have much faith in SE. I mean, seriously, you should have seen this bike, the forks were bent in a way that I can't imagine how it happened. If I built a bike and that happened I would refund the customer and beg him not to tell anyone about it. That's how ridiculous the bend was.
