I rode BMX for years and if you are used to riding a 20" bike, the position will be similar. Actually it'll be closer to riding a 24" cruiser.
I had a 2000 P.3, and I used to call it my BMX bike on Steroids. I used to ride it on XC trails all the time!

Sure the geometry is pretty slack, but if you're an old BMXer, you'll quickly adjust and it'll suit your agressive style more once you get airborne. I'd definitely go for a P.2 or similar bike. I do like Kona's, but there are so many available these days.

You NEVER have enough money, you just spend more on stuff you don't realize. At the end of the month, I had more money when I was in college than I do now!
