i rode bmx since i was a kid and stop for the past two years because of injuries (from skating) and am trying to get into flatland. ive been dinkin around on my 20.5" tt premium trying to learm some tricks and i decided i want to keep the that bike for trails and stuff and start a new bike for flat. so my question to you is what would be a good size frame for me. im 5'11" about 165lbs and usually ride about a 21" bike for trails....or should i just throw some pegs on my bike till im comfortable doing flat?

I'd go for something in the 19-19.25 range since you're pretty tall.

I ride an 18.5 cyphr & I'm 6' 165lbs
It's very comfortable for me to bang around on, especially when doing flatland. I have a hybrid that's 19.5" TT and it feels too long for flat.

My 18.7" Luna feels a great size and I'm 6', and about 145lbs. Even with a null stem it's comfy!
I've also been playing on a 19.75" Strowler and it feels really long
Still great to ride though.
I find height more important than length.
