Hey, first post here - seems to be the only forum with a good DJs section! I'm in a bit of a predicament with bike choice at the minute and wondering if anyone else has had a similar problem. Currently riding a bmx (Sunday Trail Scout) at the jumps and I love the solid feel (and how quiet it is!) but never really feel fully comfortable on it - not enough to start thinking about trying whips, tables etc. Feel pretty stiff on the bike all the time and it's hard to loosen up. I got back into bmx again after a 5 year stint of only riding mtb both DH and on the DJs, and was probably riding these jumps my best on my old Trailstar. I also ride DH etc on a 26" so I'm very used to that wheel size.
So at the minute I'm feeling like I should accept that 20" isn't for me and go for a 26" DJ bike, but I sometimes felt that the Trailstar was a bit big and cumbersome, plus they never feel as solid and reliable as a bmx! Then again I've never ridden a modern geo 26" DJ bike like the Suburban or something. Guess I need to have a go on both back-to-back to see wat I think, but don't know anyone with a bike I could try out..
Any thoughts would be good! Anyone done it and regretted selling the bmx, or indeed the opposite?
