hello, what's the difference between a 24" BMX and a 24" MTB?
(besides the obvious fact that ones a bmx and the other's a mtb -.-)
like, are there any main differences, like say,
are some tricks easier to do on one than the other? :\

Generally 24" BMX bikes are cruisers that have more of a race geometry - longer stays, different head and seat angles. Lately a few companies are making a parkish 24" bike like Sunday bikes. But there are few.

24" MTB have a better DJ/park geometry overall.

Half the stuff you ask could be found in a search here, on google, or on pinkbike. Make one thread with all of your what frame, fork, geometry, trick, color, and tire questions. Thats preferable to 5 threads.

It seems that the 24" mtbs are all pretty aggressive when it comes to geo for dirt jumping, park, and street. 24" Bmx, on the other hand, have bmx racing-inspired geometry... but that seems to be changing.

In other words, I'd say the mtbs are better for tricks, and the bmxs are better if you're gonna race bmx cruiser class. For the most part, bmx will be a lot more affordable.
