While the weight is a bit high (I disagree with the "freestyle" assessments -- nowdays most of those bikes are as light as BMX race bikes) the fact remains that if you want to do flat, you do flat on the bike you got.
What you have in your heart is way more important than what you have under your handlebars, especially for flatland. The thing that'll make you better is practice, way, way, more than the bike.
Take your bike and go do some flatland and don't worry about the details.

Oh my God... What are these people talking about? You can't even buy a bike these days that's more than like 33 pounds... So yeah that's waaaaaayyy to heavy... An average ramp bike (for skateparks, dirt, etc...) now weighs around 24-31 pounds... I'm not sure too much about flatland but I don't think it should be over 32... Of course you can still use that bike to ride flatland but it won't be as easy to ride and you should upgrade as soon as first possible... Good luck with that...

Sounds more like a ramp bike than a flatlander.

The bike you have sounds more like it was intended for freestyle use that BMX riding. The bikes may look similar but are very different when it comes to weight, braking, and gearing.
