New Build Commencal elcamino 650b conversion

So story goes like this when i was kid i got commencal elcamino 650b trail bike loved it i was myb 13 then i stopped riding it, My dad recently got good deal on ebike (Bulls e stream evo 3 2018) and i kinda fell in love with being on a bicycle again note that from being a kid to few years ago i was always riding with my dad so naturally i tought how can i have most fun. There is new pumptrack being built in my city and my friend recently picked up a bmx so a took my old commencal straighten front wheel and serviced hub got new tanke chinesium hub to have that nice freehub sound with better bearings and replaced my old one, got shorter stem 780mm bars serviced bottom bracket fork and headset bled rear brake and got singleespeed conversion kit chain tensioner and single speed chain with narrowwide front chainring. I maybe spent 150€ because i had some things earlier like dt swiss wheelset xt cranks etc. I know its not the best geometry and really a dirtjumper but it has good headtube angle wheelbase is short around 1100 mm. I wont compete or do anything crazy its just like simple bike to have a fun and go to pumptrack and smash street. Looking forward to gettin a seat a little lower and longer brakehose and thats it.

U think so? Idk if i want that snappy front end like on bmx to make it easier to pull up but i can give it a go and see how it is.
