Anyone ever put Gears on a 20" BMX?

Been trying to find the pic..... BUT thinking about it, it may have just had the rear mech fitted as a tension device and used the front three ringer with shifter as a 3 speed set up. Going from scarred memory here though dude. ;)

SaMAlex:
I think that most of the 2 speed set ups for BMX racing are ones that change down only. Then you have to re-set it before the next race. (I could be wrong?).

I didnt really want to suggest a sturmey archer (Grifter/chopper) 3 speed, cos they are pretty horrid to ride.

Shimano have done a few hub gears, more recently the Nexus stuff. 3 speed, 7 speed and even an 8 speed version.

pickle:
will the new Shimano ones fit the rear end of a BMX though Alex?  i also think they'd be pretty expensive for a one off ride  ???
