Bmx bike slipping problem (please read)!?

I ride a 24 inch race cruiser. single speed.
anyways, i noticed that when i pedal every once in a while it slips forward (like jumps a tooth or 2).

But the thing is it doesnt throw me off balence. and ive observed that when it does slip, it slips smoothly. (so i know its not the chain jumping,or wouldnt it be a bumpy kind of slip and make the chain fall off?) so i replaced the freewheel, and the chain.
and it still does it randomly.


being the bike lover i am, i want my bike to run flawless. ive been thinking maybe my sproket is worn? (it looks fine,bikes only a year old) i would greatly appriciate advice ! thanks :)
 
is there no resistance when you pedal forward? because it could be the clutch. If it doesn't engage when you pedal forward it will feel as if it wasn't hooked up to any chain at all. My friend's bike is doing that right now and it's because his hub is messed.
