Hey,
i'm 37 years old , bike a lot with my MTB and i just catching the BMX fever. Unfortunately i have no idea how to fit a BMX bike.
Most likely i will ride on the street. I know nothing about BMX, exept that there is BMX, Freestyle and Jump Bikes, but whats the difference? Thanks for your help

i'd reccommend you get a 20.5" top tub or longer and wheel size a20" or 24" . If you want to do tricks better take a 20" for the start a 24" would be better but it is more difficult for a beginner and mostly 24" are used for dirt jumpingand racing. It is imprtant that is has 3 piece cranks.
