Better off with a hardtail DJ mtb.  BMX is sick, but I love mtb, I'll be riding everyday, STOKED!

Basically you want something strong, but reasonably light. Frame, fork, bars, and stem are all pretty personal to what feels right for you. Profile hubs are sick, and MacNeil Conjoined cranks are pretty damn sick. Get some TI spokes and Alex or Odessy rims. Intense Micro knobbies are great tires. Do some research.

Thanks, im not looking for reccomendations, just what do you think is a tight bike for dirt jumping.  If you have that bike, post a picture of it.

FIT makes sick bikes ready to ride. but there is no "best" . when you personalize it to yourself with no price range you will have "the best bike"

those two bikes look more like custom builds.
i think the best way to go is to buy a cheaper bike then upgrade it. add new sprocket, tires, rims, fork. thats what im doing...i just bought a eastern lowdown off of danscomp and now im starting to upgrade as i ride...i hope to move into dirt jumping this summer

For dirt jumping/trails the best bikes are those with a slacker head angle, and longer back end/top tubes. The best frames out now would probably be the Terrible One Reuben, Deluxe, Fit Lurch, or Credence if you can track one down.
