Just bought my son his first BMX and I want to relive my youth and show him how its done. I realise I'm taller and a little heavier so I need your advice. My build is medium and my height is 5' 11". What recommendations can you make regarding wheel size, frame size. make and model. Cheers.
I need to feel wind on my face again

I'm 5'11 dude, but only a measly 11 stone but ride pretty comfortably - I've seen all sorts of shapes and sizes riding them - you can make adjustments according to your size.
I'd say 20" wheel size - standard BMX - or a 24" cruiser - you can get some real nice old school cruisers in good nick still.

Definitely get a 24" cruiser I reckon..Or even something like a newish 26" cruiser such as a OM flyer or similar? I'm a similar height and must say that I feel a bit of a plum riding 20 inch wheels these days 
I'm halfway to getting the bits for the floval flyer I'm finishing. Should be great for the spring

I agree with mynchiboy on the OM FLYER. I have an 08 and absolutely love it. I am 6'0 and weigh 265 pounds. The thing is super stiff and responds very well.
