    Spending more time at the pump track with my lad, the long, low, slack Vitus isn’t the tool for the job!

    Never been into this sort of riding/dirt jumps etc so know NOTHING

    what am I looking for? I’m 6′ 2 as an aside so no idea on frame size ?

    I’m 6’2″ and I’ve got a Fit 22″ BMX because I gave into curiosity. It’s so good that I sold my very nice Transition PBJ as I just didn’t want to ride the big wheels anymore.

    Mine was £450 brand new around black Friday time last year. They do pop up used and they’re dirt cheap.

    Nice and I’d not look too much of a **** on it

    Size doesn’t really matter, you want the shortest wheelbase you can pedal to the track on.

    It looks and feels like a real BMX until you park up next to one and see it’s just a bit bigger in every dimension. It works for me. The problem is I can’t resist planning a really posh version.

    I’ve been eyeing up dirt jump and BMX for pedaling round with my wee one on his single speed Isla bike.

    At 6’4 what size of bike can I ride? Any old BMX? Any old XXL BMX race bike?

    Look out for a Fit Series 22 or a Wethepeople Audio.

    Both 22″ BMX’s very popular with old Dad’s and lanky units. Miles faster on a tight pump track than a DJ bike.

    There’s 2 Fit’s on marketplace and one of them is full chrome. I’m tempted by it myself.
