I can't answer that for sure AlexD.
Still looking into it, there are several variations on rules. The BMX size seems to come from an old X games, where BMX racing and freestyle would be normal, so convert the bike used already into something more dangerous. Thats just a guess.
If you look carefully at photo's you will see bikes sporting a steering damper. Low center of gravity is always good, but a short wheelbase and tiny wheels and high speeds and potholes and cats eyes make for some scary tankslapping moments.
I have some old frames knocking about but 26" and 700c. If i find an old BMX.......... missed one chucked in a hedge months ago....... thought about, should have rescued it :(
I think more silly project bike as it involves a whole new wheelsize and frame size than i have and very limited chances to race.
