Does anyone know why do they take the front brake out ?

These are dirt jumping bikes / skatepark. No front brake needed and it gives you a little bit more room on the bar to catch for bar spins, etc.

Funny how they have the front rotor on the wheel though.

Yep! There’s a picture of the bike with the front brake on there as well at some point which was taken off later.

Do you know why they ditched the front brake later on?

He didn’t need it and he switched bars from his single speed. You can see the different bars/grips from picture 1 and picture 2

He didn’t switch the bars from his single speed . His mechanic took the bars off and put his own bars and stem on(the blackmarket parts). So he could ride it the rest of the weekend.

Ah, well there ya go, that also makes sense. I thought they were from his other singlespeed that he brought.
