No. BMX bikes should be as light as you can find them. They should be built for speed in the mud and dirt during relatively short races.
On the other hand, flatland or jumping bikes will be quite heavy to provide greater strength and also higher inertia when flying through the air.

no bmx motorcycles are meant to be easy, if youre bike is heavy it extremely is b/c it is not a powerful bmx and probable has a steel physique. a hevy bmx could be around 30 pounds. my freinds bmx's are like 20 pounds, than lower back they positioned like 3000 into theirs.

yes, they need the steel structure to be able to do jumps as opposed to light thin structures of mountain bikes

depends. if its a downhill or dirt jumping bmx it needs to be strong but it doesn't need to be that light, if its a flatland bmx then it needs to be extremly light but doesn't need to be that strong
