Dirt Jumper over BMX all day!!! I just picked up a P3 off marketplace for 700 bucks in practically new condition. Ride the local pump track and dirt jumps (corona) multiple times a week with my kids. The dirt jumper is way easier to ride for older ( bigger) guys.
Dirtjumper’s worth the price or just stick with bmx?

Looking at a few used and a couple new ones but new ones seem better I can use a credit card but once I get one we gotta get a group ride at a park so I can get to meet some of you guys and get the trucks out

I’m in Pomona so I’m pretty much in the middle of everything. I just ordered a DK Lunex it was a brand I know and has the right components for easy upgrades like tapered head tube and double wall wheels already.

Dirt Jump for sure. There are a bunch of bike parks / pump tracks out there and more popping up all the time. Plus you might find local jump trails. Unless you plan on airing out of the bowls at the skate park and then a 20/22" BMX might be better for that. I have an older Commencal Absolut that I picked up used for around $550 and just bought a S&M BJ frame to build up.

Yeahs it’s been out for a while looks like a gimmick but actually supposed to be pretty decent
Looks like a gimmick for sure, but dude in the video said it was pretty plush

Heh, "the worst of both worlds" comes to mind. Slow rolling tires and suspension absorbing your pump, but also really small.
Our local pump track has one... ONE lippy table jump on it. You have to be PINNED on a dirt jumper to clear the stupid thing just because of the setup into it. It's been pissing me off that I keep casing and I'm honestly contemplating picking up a 20" bmx just so I can roll fast enough into that one jump to clear it.
