>I know that this website is geared towards road and MTB but I would like some detailed information on BMX geometry and how certain things affect the performance of the bike, ie shorter rear end makes it easier to manual.

-Shotrter rear end:easier to manual, and spinning is faster, easier to bunnyhop, better for quick and techinical turns, where as long rearend is easier to control at higher speeds,

shorter toptube- once again spinning, and bunnyhops are easier, fakies are harder, and manuals are also eaiser,

-bottom bracket height, is i think mostly personal preferance, but toptube and rearends are the only real things that change performance every thing else is usually the same
