I tried to go for a ride yesterday and the BMX just felt so cramped and tiny. I'm not ready to make the plunge though, I like to a lot of lip tricks and front brake stuff and I just feel like its going to be too much bike for that. I'm also 6'1" and 27 years old, the body doesn't bend like it used and 20" wheels just don't feel comfortable.
Anyone have any videos of someone riding one? I'd like to see how it looks in motion and what body position is like.
I did ride a 24" model C once, it felt pretty nice.

I'm 6'4 220, and rode a 20" bike since I was 13. The last 20" bike I rode was a custom 250L with a 22" top tube and 9.75" bars. Even that bike felt too cramped and when I saw pictures and video of myself riding it I looked absolutely ridiculous. I decided to give 22's a go and pre ordered the faction amero as soon as it was available. I immediately felt that 22" wheels were superior to 20's but the 21.5"tt was waaay too short and I destroyed 2 pairs of their terrible forks, so I made the switch to a custom 23"tt holmes and it was the best decision I ever made. Im currently on a 23"tt 22"wheeled custom trail boss and ill never touch a 20" bike again. My trail boss is scaled up 2" in every aspect from what my 20" bike was and it feels perfect for my size. I only ride dirt, so I cant speak for how it handles nib jibbin curbs and ledges but I can still hop the sucker on picnic tables, so the vertical does not suffer. Best bike ive ever ridden
