Luke, it looks like it's a dirt jumping rig. Read slope style/park/BMX/dual slalom.

Yep. Pretty limited application but fun if thats what you're looking for.
It was Barry nobles. I used to race BMX and now that the kids are getting older I want to get me a bike to ride with them. Normally I'd prefer. 21" top tube BMX bike but wanted to get a 24" this time. A buddy of mine does a little light mountain biking and I figured I could tag along on one of those. I don't want a full suspension bike, or something that weighs 20 pounds. I also refuse to have my seat 15" in the air with my handle bars 10" in front of the bike.
I got my old haro frame back from the kid I gifted it too when I quit racing, he left it outside and it's all rusty. Thought about just trying to clean it up and start with a bare frame.

I used to race BMX as well and picked up a 21" BMX bike as an adult some years back. Didn't end up being as fun as I thought, though course YMMV. However if you plan on longer rides you might find yourself a little limited with it. Not exactly the most comfortable option.
Santa Cruz has a pretty cool option you could buy as a frame and get all blinged-out on: http://www.santacruzbicycles.com/en-US/jackal
That bike looks sick! Looks like they don't sell a complete bike though. I'll have to sit down and see how pricey and build like that would be. Wonder if the AL frames have a weight limit?

Think for yourself. Question authority.
I want to hit the BMX track and go do a little off road riding at the oak mountain state park (lots of trails). What do the people of PF say?

As far as a bike goes? I'd definitely stick with at least a 26" wheel for trails. I've tried a BMX on single track. It's brutal.
Try an aluminum H/T frame with a relatively slack geometry a 4" travel or so front end and keep the components simple. That should be nice and whippy yet still capable of hitting the trails with your kids.
