What skinny or not its going to hurt. You try falling off a bike 20-30 times on to pavement while trying to learn the dump truck or any other trick like that.
I also tried vert a few time but I wasn't any good at that, I could pretty much just drop in and pull off a few basic tricks.
For street I wasn't terriable, I could do some various peg grinds but since there isn't a place around me I could try any ramps or anything.
Now I prefer dirt biking since you can get 15 some feet of air coming off a jump rather then 3 feet or so. Plus it takes a lot more skill to pull of some of the tricks on a dirt bike.

I used to race BMW when I was younger, I remember I was pretty good, only won a race once, mostly got 4th-2nd place.
EDIT - I used to race BMX, not BMW.

I used to race a few years ago (still got the bike, Haro SR) and I made it to 17 Intermediate, though by that point I was only racing 16-23 y.o. Experts and I could keep up with them.
I still street ride about once a week. Just for fun. Hopping on ledges, linking some manuals, grinds and arials together when I can. Dropping some 8-10 sets. It's all good. Street bike is a mut. It's got Haro, Mongoose, and Poverty parts on it. Only thing left mongoose is the frame, and it'll be a Haro in a little bit.

I got my BMX a few years ago, but I never really got into it until a couple of months ago. The reason I got one is because I kept destroying my normal MTB while doing tricks. I also had a few big rocks in my backyard. So I used to practice some trial moves on them. But as I said before, my MTB couldn't take all the beatings. That's when I got my BMX ( Haro ... Dave Mirra signature series) ( Don't know the exact name)
I mainly do flatlanding, because there are no descent skate-parks where I live.
I can do basic to (some) mediocre tricks.
Decades, squeakers, that kind of stuff
Currently I'm trying the halflash.

I ride BMX. I have a Standard Bullitt frame, Profile crank, Redline Monster Tubular sealed bearings, double walled rims, Demolition seat, poverty seat post, S&M slam bars, S&M red neck stem, ghetto rigged head set, standard front fork, and some really thick chain.
I can tail whip now, I'm practicing 360's now, and I got some table top 180's down.

Yeah ekmatt. I used to race for a team that was sponsored by Standard Byke Co.
My cousin and I both have Standard 125R frames and he also has a Bullitt.
I love Standards. Soo light. Mine has a Profile crank and BB, Chris King hubs with ti spokes on velocity rims. S&M bars, crupi stem, bombshell tribal carbon fork, 44-16 gear, IRC Siren tires.
I raced BMX. I can't do much for tricks. I am AWESOME at jumping though... I just get freaked by big jumps.
I ride MTB more now. I have a Specialized Hardrock Pro Disc '05.
The person who said you can do more on a MTB than BMX? Wrong.
In all reality, everything has tradeoffs. Then you have singlespeed MTB's with 24" rims and stufff...
MTB makes it a lot more comfortable for me for sure though.
BMX bikes are a hell of a lot stronger than MTB and take a lot more thrashing unless you have a really nice MTB designed for DJ/Street/Urban/DH/FR.
I'm addicted to bikes.
