I remember 1 to 2 feet was easy on a regular bmx bike when I was a kid. Now I am lucky to hit six inches on my gravel bike. I am thinking it would be fun to get a bmx bike again just futz around on but are the adult size bmx bikes so much heavier than before it won't be that much different than my 20lb gravel bike ?
Lots of the big cruisers are really heavy. Good for wheelies, but the long wheelbase and the weight aren't optimal for bunnyhopping. IMO, the closest thing to the feel of a 20" is a 24" cruiser. Super fun, a
lot lighter than a 29er, but you can still ride some miles on it.
