best bmx bikes/companies?
I'm 17 and Ive always been into skateboarding but I want to also try bmx. ive had a bmx bike for about 2 years now the only thing about it is that its hard for me to lift the bike up sometimes because its a bit big. I have a fast metabolism and also a slim body so my weight is around 115. I need a bike that is small enough for me to lift it up and jump. please no stupid answers telling me to just gain weight because in all honesty my body doesn't work like that. If you could suggest some bikes for me thatd be real great!

OK...I'll ask you a question. What's the best skateboard company? Or is there a "best". Aren't ALL the top brands about equal when it comes to quality? It's how the bike rides & "feels" to you alone that makes it the "best".
Here's a really wild idea... Find a bike shop that specializes in BMX bikes. Go there. TEST RIDE a few. See link... http://www.thetoptens.com/bmx-bike-brands/
If you are going to get serious about bmx stay away from companies like DK, GT, Haro, and Mongoose. Although these brands may have made good bmx bikes/parts in the past they currently do not.
If you are looking for a complete go with brands like Cult, Fit, Fly, Kink, Shadow, Sunday, Subrosa, Verde, and Volume.
I would go with a frame that has a 20" top tube. Once you get better at riding you can build a bike with even better brands.
A 20 inch Haro with a carbon frame (not aluminum) its much lighter and with back brakes, take the front brakes off for tricks.
GT are really good as well as HARO they are really good ones for bmx....You could probably find them on craigslist
try a garret reynolds custom build or a guttershark. both frames are low and if you need them bigger you can just use perfect 10's or s& pitchforks to make it taller
