More clearance, lighter, and stronger (because it's harder to bend a smaller-diameter object that a larger one).

What other parts can I replace to make my bike lighter?

How long have you been riding for?

Month, but it took me 5 minutes to learn and land a barspin.

Can you 'land' a trick if your tires never leave the ground?

Sure. A boomerang's a classic example of that.
But, seeing as how you've only been riding a month, you really shouldn't be looking to lighten up your bike. A more experienced rider can handle lighter parts, because they're more used to their bike and have more bike control; a less experienced rider would break those parts, because they're much more sketchy and unrefined in their riding ability.

IDK, I'm a noob. What do you expect? Anyways, when I removed some of the useless parts on my Haro it made me preform better doing tricks such as bunny hops. That's why I want to make my bike lighter.
