i have a new fork! check out the POS i replaced. the new one is a cheap threaded 1" cruiser fork
and a new stem and bars! specialized BMX stem and LBS bargain bin mini BMX bars
and a new rear wheel! salvaged hub and gifted rim= $30 wheel. already been taco'd once.
and a new seatpost! after the old one bent in the middle of a game at worlds. new laid back one salvaged from an old bmx bike. puts my ass further over the rear wheel making wheelies easier.
rockit refers to the name written on the child's bmx pad that is on the cross piece of the handlebars
next up: new chainring and welded U brake mounts.

not much; yes, because quill BMX stems only come in 21.1 rather than 22.2 also i can use that stem/bars on future bikes; yes, when i can find them- i don't really spend money on tires; yes doesn't everyone?
that looks sick, charlie. notice much difference in the handling with that new fork? you have a 1" threaded to 1 1/8" threadless converter on there? you run 2" tires front and rear? do you like being asked a lot of questions? ha.
