Bmx Cruiser 24

BMX Racers, need your help!?
I am 6'4" and have rode mountain bikes all my life. I want to get into BMX racing, just a once in a while thing for fun. But when I get on a BMX bike (24") I feel like I am riding a tri-cycle. So I want to build a cruiser useing a 21" hard tail mountain bike frame. My question is will this work for racing on a BMX track? Will there be any issues using or building this frame? Thanks!!!
Yes, it can be done, Azonic and a few other frame makers build frames that will work for you. I raced a Azonic DS-1 for Bmx / Mtn-X / DS. Get a frame with horizontal drop-outs. Try to get the smallest frame possible, most Bmx rollers are close together and you might have some issues with the over all length of your ride. No need for suspension forks or disc brakes. Also the horizontal drop-out DS-1 will work with 24 inch wheels. If you think you really want to race, get a cruiser, my trick (I am 6'2") was to get a flip flop stem and some spacers. Put your handle bars up as high as you feel comfortable, then lower them as you go. I use a zero rise 45 mm stem and Fly Mike Day cruiser bars on my race rig. Also cruiser frames come in many sizes. Your advantage getting a cruiser over a scaled down mtb are, weight (Bmx bike will weigh less), center of gravity (Bmx bikes are built to fly and manual) and price (Bmx parts are less expensive). Also the 21 inch frame might not give you enough stand over height, nothing like slipping a pedal and landing on your top tube. Also the frame might not be rigid enough, most mt bike frames will flex when all out sprint power is applied, most mt bike frames are made for climbing and long rides, not for all out attacks and jumps like a bmx frame. I have a Santa Cruz Super-8 dh bike, a Morewood Ndiza for mtn-x and dual slalom, both have dual suspension and my cruiser race bike, yes it is hard jumping between sizes, but it can be done.The main thing is that you are happy with what you build and will ride it. Good luck and be safe.

The Hows and Whys of Dirt Jumping
One of the many sports commonly involving mountain bikes is known as dirt jumping. This particular sport is based on the idea of using shaped mounds of dirt to push yourself into the air. After takeoff, the challenge is to regain control over your vehicle of choice to ensure a safe landing in a specific spot. The sport can be played with several different rides. The most common of these are 20 inch wheels BMXs, Cruisers, mountain bikes and freestyle motocross. Of these, the mountain bike is without a doubt the favored choice.
Dirt jumping is not considered a competitive sport, but rather one you participate in for the simple enjoyment of it. The bikes used are manufactured by smaller, less known companies, which adds a little to the exclusiveness of the sport. Dirt jumpers consider their sport to be part of the underground, which is probably why there aren't that many competitions. Over the past few years, companies have begun to organize competitions with cash prizes for dirt jumping, but it still hasn't reached that stage where almost everyone has heard about it.
Some seem to think that dirt jumping, as a sport, is identical to mountain bike racing. This statement is false. While the two sports have some aspects in common, dirt jumping focuses more on the height and duration of the jump than who finishes the race faster. In addition, the number and quality of the tricks performed is also a factor. It is a far more dangerous sport than racing and takes many years and a lot of practice before the bruises stop appearing.
However, not all mountain bikes are necessarily suited for dirt jumping. The frames tend to be smaller than those used for other purposes and usually only have a rear brake. The size of the wheels is either 24 or 26 inches and the forks are rigid or short travel. The wheel size is especially important since it determines the shape of the takeoff. This is why, before starting to learn the sport, you should make sure your mountain bike is up to the task. Accidents have been known to happen because the participant did not have the proper equipment. Taking care of your mountain bike is extremely important, not only so that you can prevent yourself from breaking a leg or worse, but also so that you come out on top when you do those dangerous jumps.
