so the sproket i bought is the one in the pic, and normally sprokets have a "hole" in them to put the part the i "circled" from the crankset into. Like the part i circled goes into the little hole the most sprokets have. is that little circled piece not NEEDED on cranks or is it optional depending on if your sproket has a spot for it.? because my cranks have that and I don't know what to do with it haha. so yeah please let me know.

and.... while im asking bmx questions, if you buy a new bottom bracket for your frame, can you use cranks 19mm OR 22 mm, depending on your bottom bracket?

Thanks dudes.

That's the crank puller. I don't think you really need one, but it can be a bitch to get the cranks off without one. That's not the sprocket bolt thing. And I think that you'll still use the sprocket bolt, because I don't think that sprocket is splined. I think the holes just aren't as "defined" as on a normal sprocket.

Yes, you can use whatever cranks depending on the bb. I know Spanish can be either, and I think American/mid is 19mm, but don't quote me on it.

Put some bullhorns on with white grips, new seat post, polished seat post clamp, new seat (stripped Selle Italia Ti rails), no brakes, I think that's it.

Thanks dudes. Justin, it's fixed gear, that means that I can never coast, and I can also slow down using pressure on the cranks, so I pretty much do have brakes.
