I’ve been getting into freestyle bmx right now I have a normal prebuilt bmx (the picture) and I really haven’t been doing tricks but when I try my friends bike I can do everything I know really easily. I just had my 16th birthday party and got 1000$ I’m willing to spend around 600$ what parts would you recommend getting first?

Depends on what you want to be doing. First thing is Google your bike and see what the frame, bars and forks are made of, hi-ten, trolly or chromoly. Think about as you progress what’s going to fail First. You don’t want things breaking or failing. Wheels are also a good upgrade eventually. Double wall rims are a good investment when thinking about wheels. Sprocket and chain, also depends on your level of riding as you progress. Look up dougsterbob on YouTube has some good insight on how to chose what best for you based on budget, quality of parts and riding style. And don’t t forget, just go ride!
Ride it until either something fails or you know what part you want to change. Bike looks good enough for your first basic steps.
With 600 bucks you could also get a very decent build on the used market
