You guys should all try them. And I am being serious. Super fun. Might even raise my seat up more...

My rims are two years old with mostly rear use and some front and they are still red. They don't even show brake wear.
As to forks I got mine off eBay for 30 bucks, just gotta check there once in a while. A guy had a chrome set with mounts for 50 in the for sale section a month or two ago and no one seemed to hit on them aside from me.

Looks fun!
Reminds me of this one older dude I ride with at the park a lot cause he's got a chrome frame & front brakes too haha. He does these cool foot jam whips where he uses the front brake, but like brings his knees to his bars without his feet touching the tires at all. They look pretty sweet.
I'd like to dick around with them sometime cause I enjoy footjam tricks, I have a pair of mongoose forks somewhere here with mounts on them. Might have to try that on my box jump sometime.

Old thread, but I posted it so I don't care. Check out some stuff with FRONT BRAKES by Tom Haugen. Super underrated rider. Super nice dude too.
This one is all early 00's. There's some more recent stuff out there too.

I love my fronts. I can't do shit with them but they are fun.
I'm a punk bmxer, I can't do it well so I do it loud.

rode fronts for 20+ years.
It's all about trails/dirt for me now though.

looks fun, been thinking of putting front or rear brakes.
You say BMX is your life but you barely ride.
BUT hey, That's none of my business.

That wasn't directed directly to you. 
That's to anyone that runs fronts.
