My 3 year old has inspired me to get another bmx after 6 years of no bike- he's already trying to get air out of the local dirt jumps so I thought I'd encourage him a bit by showing him what I did for most of my teens and 20's!

The problem is I have no idea what companies make good bikes now- or really what I want- thought someone over here might be able to give me some ideas.

I used to ride mainly street and flatland on a Fly bikes MicroMachine, with decent street pegs etc.
I borrowed a mates Haro last week and could still remember some stuff- so not entirely past it!

I'm a total short ass, with stupid little arms - I tend to find bikes over about 19" tt harder to handle, so small tt size is essential! (thats why I ended up with the MicroMachine!)

I suspect will be doing mainly dirt riding, but would like to get back into street as well if I can.

Don't have loads of cash but want a decent bike, would prob spend a bit more if it's worth it!

Any ideas??

But seriously, used customs are the way to go, check ebay, great deals.

A bike for midgets, I woulds say vertically challenged but it seems the taller you are the harder it is in bmx
