i want a bmx bike, something that i wont have to spend all my money on. it needs to be decently light, preferably <25lbs, and a shorter TT, like 20, 20.25 or shorter. max 21.5". i want to cruise around, and be able to learn some basic tricks.

Well, I don't have any specific model suggestions for you, but my recommendation is to set your budget as the very first thing. Then find the best complete bike you can for within that budget, don't worry about specific components, go for the overall package. Then as you break parts, or they piss you off, replace them with what you like the most or can afford. In a year or two, you probably won't have any of the bike you initially bought left, but you will have one that suits you well......................... at least that is how it worked for me 
For most completes you weight requirement will be a concern, check out the Fit and Stolen top of the line complete bikes.
budget of roughly 300$, probably 250$. i have a bmx right now, its a sh*tty ars Iron Horse i got at Sportchek 2 years back, and am now getting a STP2 soon, but still want to have a bmx. the bmx i have now will go to my cottage for crusin' around.
is the DK Rage any good?its got a 20" TT, at 28.5 lbs.
wat stores carry 2hip bikes?online?
United Recruit complete?any good?
now i'll just say<30lbs
<$300. i know its low, but its wat i'm gunna have extra, and i'm havin second thoughts about a STP2 for some reason. watever if i dont get one its only gunna be in a while.

ive never weighed it... never a concern for me. i know the fork is heavy though
there is no way thats custom built...it has like rust all over it and looks terrible...def. not worth the 300$$( maybe you should learn how to customize bikes
