Which one? On the left?
Why are you looking for that specific stem? There are lots of similar stems out there.....

Is a BMX stem not different from a jump bike stem?

A BMX stem clamps on a handlebar clamp area that is 22.2mm.

A "regular" mountain bike handlebar clamp area is 25.4mm (or 1"). A Downhill handlebar's clamp area is 31.8mm.

MTB-DJ bars can be either 22.2 or 25.4. Most (especially aluminum ones) are 25.4. Like these: http://www.bti-usa.com/public/category/HB/HBBR/BL

Some (particuarly chromoly steel ones) are 22.2, like these: http://www.bti-usa.com/public/category/HB/HBBR/BL

There are shims available with some handlebars so that you can put a 22.2 handlebar in a 25.4 stem.

So basically it's easier to just get a 25.4 stem

It just depends what handlebars you're going to run.

22.2 Pros: large selection of bmx stems out there.
22.2 Cons: small selection of 22.2 mtb bars (although the ones that are out there are pretty good, e.g. Black Market Molly Hatchet and NS District http://www.chainreactioncycles.com/us/en/ns-bikes-district-bars-2014/rp-prod110645. Most 22.2 chromoly bars have rise--if you're looking for zero or minimal rise, I can't think of any 22.2 that fit that.

25.4 Pros: large selection of handlebars, although many might not be DJ specific (may be xc oriented). Still, there are good ones, like http://www.bti-usa.com/public/category/HB/HBBR/NS
25.4 cons: smaller selection of DJ-style stems, although there are also still plenty of good ones: http://www.deitycomponents.com/fantom-254.html

31.8 pros: large selection of handlebars and DJ/DH style stems.
31.8 cons: DH bars tend to be flat or minimal rise. (With some exceptions. Deity 50mm rise: http://www.jensonusa.com/Handlebars-and-Stems/Deity-Topsoil-Handlebar, http://www.jensonusa.com/Handlebars-and-Stems/Azonic-Flow-750mm-2-Rise-Handlebar, and 3" Atomlab Pimp 31.8 bars. http://www.bti-usa.com/public/category/HB/HBBR/AL


If you have an aluminum frame with fat tubing, it might look cooler with a 31.8 stem and bars. Versus a slim-looking chromoly frame with chromoly bars and a bmx stem. It's all personal preference. Aluminum bars are often lighter, but not necessarily by a lot (like 100g or 0.2 pounds).

Mine was from a 2007 bike, it's fine but if I was to buy one I would say look at the sect stem by dmr to start, or buy me a sect one and you can have mine lol
