I've currently got a bmx with a bsd alvx 20.6 inch frame and oddyssey r25 forks and 9.5" tall order bars. The issue is im short at 5 ft 4". I find it harder to learn flat tricks, will reducing my geometry to a 20 inch 12.5" frame and 15mm forks make it easier to learn to tailwhip flyout or hop whip? Will it help other tricks such as barspins?

It might make things easier but then again if might not
The federal frame is nice but I don’t think that small of a change in geometry will make things radically easier to learn
No, not really. Those tricks require time and repetition.
No. Get a tramp bike and go to town.
Not really no. Fork angle can help nose mannys, shorter rear ends are more responsive but harder to maintain balance. Nothing in geometry will help you whip. Keep the bike under you not in front of or to the side of you is the best whip advice out there.
Will help with nose manuals for sure and yea the bike will come around quicker the smaller it is. Still got to send them though and learn
I learned tailwhips on a 14.25 slammed trails bike.. you’ll be fine with whatever
