So I have rode bmx bikes most of my life. I have not owned a bike in 5 years. I want to get a bike to get around and get back into it.
I really like the feel of a bmx style bike so I guess a urban or dj bike is what I think I need.

I want it to cruise around on and maybe hit some trails and jumps as I get back into it.

So far the mongoose looks like the best for me but I would like some input if you guys have any.

I want something with dif speeds but small enough that is kinda feels like a bmx.
thanks all

mongoose quality is questionable, seeing the welds in shops has kind of scared me. i'd say that you should look into the norco idea, maybe look into brodie as well. brodie frames tend to be a little nicer than norco, but also a bit more expensive. a black market is probably one of the nicer urban/dj frames you could buy. if you are looking at something around that pricepoint though, look into a dobermann bikes pinscher.
