It was too heavy in the front and too light in the back, so I added the extra weight to test how the counterbalance feels. Practically perfect for me now 👍
Yes I realize that BMX flatland is borderline interesting, but I figured adding sand weights to a bike would be dull enough for this community 🤷
You must not know anything about brakeless 20" BMX flatland then. Try watching some videos on it, more often than not we’re not even sitting down anyways, the seat is basically just a third handgrip.
Go ahead, check the Matt Wilhelm Warehouse Session, or the JoMoPro 2012 competition. BMX flatland isn’t in any way like normal bicycle riding. When the name of the game has almost nothing to do with sitting on the seat, we play by our own rules.

And a bonus clip, my own custom 1981 Mongoose Supergoose, my main preferred BMX flatland bike, but now the frame has stress cracks so I can’t safely perform tricks on it anymore :(
