Welcome from Allergen Central. You'll probably best served by the BMX blokes and THIS thread is a really good place to start. After you read the first post, you can continue to read or just jump to the end and post your question, but you may learn something if you take the time to read

Good luck in your search.

Welcome to Bike Forums. I don't know what a DJ bike is, but once you find the right forum you shouldn't have any problem getting opinions.

A DJ is a dirt jumper. Light weight usually no gears. Larger than a BMX.

Welcome to the forums.

This is mine.

I love that bike^

On another note, welcome to bike forums! I'm confident to say that if you have any questions that you're afraid to post in the open you can direct them to the guy above me. Nonetheless, feel free to page through the many message boards here and don't hesitate to reply to threads!

Welcome DJ2. Pop over to the MTB forum - - there aren't a ton of DJers there but that's where you're most likely to find us. If I were you I'd look around for a used Kona Scrap or Shred. As far as sizing, one of our shorter-statured DJers like zephyr11 can help in that department. Cheers!
