Bmx forks on a trials bike?

Hi. I'm planning to build up a 24" street trials bike and currently thinking about the forks I want to run on it. I had a look at the echo urban forks and they seemed to be my choice. But then I thought of the 24/26 bmx bikes and now I'd like to know what the pros and cons for running a bmx fork on my bike are. (And btw. I don't care about weight. I'd rather have a very strong bike than a light one that breaks under my weight.)

There are plenty of trials forks out there that are strong enough to handle abuse (thinking primarily of Inspired kit in this instance, though I'm sure there are others about. Urbans used to be another reasonable contender, though I'm unsure if this is still the case to that extent) that really there's no need to try and do anything different, particularly given trials frames aren't designed around a BMX fork. I've no doubt it's possible to run a 24" BMX fork, but seems a rather pointless exercise.

Ok I think I´ll stick to the trials forks then. The reason I was thinking about going for a bmx fork is that here in germany trials parts (not even thinking about Street-Trials parts) are way expensive and super rare. And I didn´t hear anything negavtive about the latest echo urbans. Or does someone know if there are trobles even with the brand new model?

And thanks for the answers! ;)
