i've been dirt jumping but I was thinking a bmx would be cool because its rigid, cheap, and doesnt break like mtn bikes do. how about general lee 24's for dirt jumping?
this guy at the jumps near me rides a 24" general lee so they cant be that bad
If the frame is strong enough, a 24" is a great choice. You can get some pretty stout wheels built with DH hoops if you need them.

ummm yea thatll be cool and every thing but why not a 20inch wheel cuz those r stronger and wont have as mutch of a tendency to bend its like this........take a long pencil and break.....c how easy it was? now take the short half and try to break it...it alot harder

That's actually a decent analogy, now if only it were slightly more coherent. ;)
Cool, let's all get some 8 inch wheels.

Hey, solid nylon skateboard wheels are nearly indestructible. Will they work for BMX? Sources say no! :D
