Need a new lens for bmx photography and portraits. What should I buy out of these?

Don't waste your money on cheap zooms! Look at the Canon 28mm 1.8 or 50mm 1.4.

The 28mm would probably be a better all-around lens for you. I'm assuming you have a 1.6 crop body, so it's about a 45mm equivalent. The 50mm (that's a 80mm equivalent on a 1.6 body) would be a better portrait lens, but it would be kind of long for most bmx stuff.

I shoot on the Tamron 17-50 2.8 for a standard zoom and it rules. I don't remember what made me pick that one, just read a bunch of good reviews I guess. The tokina 11-16 is awesome as well
