oh man it only took me like a day to get used to it, the deciding factor for me was if i could hop as high and drop as far on a bmx as i could on a mtb easily, first week of riding my friends bmx i went and re-did this mid bar heigh fence hop to flat that i had done on a mtb the same month i switched

and then at that point i decided to get a bmx. i found it super easy to become a natural feeling.

Plus you have to buy their BB to fit a 24mm spindle, unless somebody else came out with one and I missed it. Just like Guerra frames with their goofy BB.

Euro BB with 24mm spindle would be terrible, even on a mid that's going to be a small bearing.
