the first tricks i would learn are 180s, barspins, and tailwhips.
the next parts i would get are a magray brake, any metal core wheels( i would get blunt wheels or demon cores; they're great if you are just starting out), and any threadless sealed headset
hope this helps! just ask if you have any more questions

yeah a lot of people ride bmx here(including me), you'd be surprised.
you dont need a new fork. you can just use the locknut from your threaded compression to compress the headset with threaded forks. its called locknut compression.
and i would try to get new griptape asap too

they are 4130 chromo.
they should last you a while so you dont have to worry about them, unless you want to get some bigger ones

this is what i would do
1.cut the bars down in height(depends on your height; if you are around 5'10" then you want to cut them to about 23")
2.new grips
3.new griptape
4.magray brake and a headest(will make your scooter much, much more dialed.
5. new wheels(if you start to get good fast you might i have to get new wheels sooner)
what i would do is save up a little over 100 and buy two new wheels(ones that are about $25), a magray brake, a heaset(i would go with the district sealed headset), new grips, new griptape, and some paint to paint all your parts
this is what i did. it feels like getting a whole new scooter. trust me, you will love it.

even if you are almost 6' tall then you should still cut them to about 23" high. trust me, it will make all your tricks easier and you wont like an idiot riding around with massive bars
