Carbon Mini Seat

Why don't race BMX go seatless? Same shape as a Phython, with BMX geo. Save WAY more than the 100g or however much this seat does..

Because it looks terrible, although so does this seat...

I think removing components means a bike starts to lose its identity, bmx has a 'look' about it, and losing things like a seat means its not really a bmx as most people know it anymore. I know the same can be applied to trials, but bmxers have a different attitude towards thier bikes it seems.

Yes but BMXer's are on the weight weenie bandwagon, especially olympic eligiable ones.

It just seems like a pointless thing to have on a race BMX, when do you need to use it?

You may have to have a seat to race in a BMX race, like stocks for comps back in the day had to have working gears, although people used to use fake lighter carbon sprokets in the cassetee which realistically couldn't be used, but to compete in the stock caterorgy you had to have one.

The seat is often used to control the bike in mid air :)

Jumping a bike with no seat and massive standover (a trials bike) feels really alien to me.
