hay man
Yeah there arn't many ways i know personally of cutting weight back except, drilling holes or cutting down you seat pole, gettin hollow bolts for your stem, and the rest are costly such as lighter wheels and various other pats.
Hope i helped you a bit man.

drill holes in it lmao

cut down your seat post, cut down your handlebars (if you dont need 'em wide). a lighter inner tube? replace the air in your tubes with helium.

go on the link in it has how to reduce weight in a bike but you have to remember every bit of weight taken out takes a bit of strength http://www.bmx-zone.com/en-article-id-520.html should be it

go to the gym and increase your bench press weight by 10kg and your bike will fell light as a feather ;)

all the mods above will reduce weight slightly a few grams here and there, but the easiest way is to buy a 5lbs frame and you will drop 2lbs compared to the redline....

First you sell the bike, but before you do drill holes in your bike so much the the next people dont have to worry.
With the money from the bike buy a treadmill to loose some weight and then start to drill holes in the treadmill.
I'm not saying shore3 rider is overweight. It just sounded good in my head
