[Closed] MTB like a BMX, BMX like an MTB

Kind of. I like building random bikes and fancy a bike like this or something else that I could do similar with. See rational be below. Its not about it being rigid, its not about it being single speed (although for this it doesn't matter if it is) its not about tricks (so more than a dirt jump bike) manoeuvrability. The trails very close to me a re very short little twisty runs. A couple of small tables and drops. I never ride them as a big bike is too cumbersome and at the same time the XC rigid single speed isn't really playful but I took my bmx down there this weekend and they were fun as it was loose as hell and a little out of control, a little too out of control even in the dry, in the wet I would have no brakes due to well rubbish brakes in the wet and any level of bumps was a real kicking. So options, try to build something like the fingerscrossed bikes, but this involves source hard to find tyres, forks and getting frame mods or ???? suggestions? Small 26" ht? Dirt jumper with some grippy tyre?. A lot of the old 26" hardtails seem to have disappeared or make silly money or is just the covid effect?
