Why would you run a tire size that is basically non-existent? I would have to build and buy new wheels that are an extremely uncommon size which would mean sticking with potentially lower quality stuff or at least stuff with fewer options. I will have to run narrower tires and if I do run a brake then I would probably have issues there. Then if I have a need for a new tube or tire most shops aren't going to carry it and they would be hard to order. It all seems like downsides to me. If I wanted a bigger BMX bike I would go with a proper 24" which is a more common size but honestly I would probably stick with 20" like all the other BMX bikes.
All the adults I know who ride BMX ride 20" or I have seen people build up 26" and 29er stuff for cruising and such.
