dirt jumping bmx

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?

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.

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