Ok guys , I am currently wanting to build a custom bike for Skatepark/Dirt , I have just over $1000 , if I sell my old bike ( Verde Method , if anyone wants to buy it please PM me ) I just need to know the basic things I need to build the bike to perfect condition and standard.

Please list all the things needed and good brands for the parts thankyou.

Hmm, Asking a competitive website the basics of BMX.

Well most people arent no lifes and you'll be surprised how much people got out and do something other then xbox

If just learning, no real need for a custom bike, I know that here in my town if you rock up with a top bike and you can't do much you don't make many friends.
Just get stock I reckon. Anything above the Wethepeople Crisis seems to go well for beginners from what I have seen.

I have been riding for about 7 years currently just using a stock Stolen Sinner 2012 I just picked up, removed the brakes changed the stem and I was pretty much good to go from there.

As Flukkz said just get a stock bike for like $600+

Any good sites for stock bikes ?

strictlybmx.com for everything

www.easternbikes.com/

I am from NZ so not really any sites I can recommend for you that I have used.

Quick google, this bike is a good starter to intermediate bike. Right on your price range.
