^I tried a larger Haro "cruiser bmx", it had a bit larger of a frame and like 22" wheels. It felt awful and awkward. I think its best to go either either a straight up BMX or a straight road bike. The in between just felt wierd as hell.
However, my last BMX bike (back in NY) was an SE Mauler 2.0, and i absolutely loved that bike. Maybe Ill look into what SE Racing bikes I can get near my price range too
