Welcome to the big wheels club. There is a ton of crossover at our spot in Santa Cruz. MTBers riding little bikes and BMXers riding big bikes both. How 'bout that Nyquist?

Right on!

I'd suggest you grab yourself a 50mm length stem and some bars with a decent amount of rise. This will make the transition back and forth between the BMX and MTB a little easier. I run these but cut down to ~750mm width: http://www.jensonusa.com/Spank-Spike-800-Race-50mm-Rise-Handlebar?cs=Wh…

Seat wise, SDG's Apollo and Patriot have been go-to items in the dirt jump/slopestyle scene for years. They're durable, easy to grab, and not overly long like many MTB seats.
