Well any complete dirt jumping bike, maybe a Fit, or a Felt,  should serve your purposes. But if you're looking for racing advice, this isn't your best bet, this is a bike stunt site.

Also, your height would be much more useful than your weight. Your weight really doesn't really factor into what bike you should get (unless it's extreme in either direction), however your height basically determines the size of bike you should be riding.

Basically, if you're really short, look for a pretty short top tube, and if you're tall look for a big top tube. I'd say over 6' get a 20.5" or 21" top tube. Under 6', get a 20" or shorter sized frame.

Hope this helps, welcome to the site!

yeah, i was looking for more race oriented bikes, i didn't know how this site was oriented. THanks for the reply though... im about 5 foot eight. Im coming from dirtbikes so i should be able to catch on quickly though as far as jumping and racing go.  I just thought it looked fun and competitive. ill try some other forums though.

well, about how much. i cant pay for too much and i am planning on getting a newer dirtbike soon so i dont think i can afford a good BMX bike anytime real soon. i thought maybe i could get into the sport for $200 bucks or so, but now that has been shot down so ill probably wait until this next spring before i get into this stuff. also, im in idaho.
