As a general rule if two bikes are in the same price range, the smaller of the two will be lighter. This because there is less material used in the smaller BMX due to it's much simpler construction.
But, when you head for the high end, a flatland or racing bike is going to be much lighter compared to a mountain bike.

No such thing. Trials is a sub-sport of mountain biking, often called "mountain bike trials".
