right! the dust seems to have settled over the icon issue. now tell us without bitin', scratchin', pulling hair, bitch slappin' or punchin' each other what you think is the most classic of all rides

here's a little help from the online dictionary to decipher the word"classic"......."One that is of the highest rank or class".
basically what you couldn't have as a snot nosed 13 year old (unless sponsored) but would drop your left nut for

As a 13 year old the ultimate bike for me had to be the Hutch Pro Star it was an unbelievable amount of money for a bike (at the time).

.....and not a very good bike as it turns out!

Back in the very early 80's I had a Team Murray.

There were 2 lads whose bikes I used to drool over:

One was a deep red Kuwahara KZ 1 or 2 with gold parts and the other was a Redline Carrera

Both of these represented the ultimate classic BMX icon

Most classic of all rides, for me it has to be the skyway T/A.

for me it is the "pk ripper" 'the first time i saw one was in bmx action in 1982 'and then buff used one 'so i knew one day i would have one 'i finnally got one in 84 it was and still is the best bmx ive ever owned

so now doubt for me the ripper

I think they changed as we learnt more, my first classic was a supergoos2, then a Carrerra 2, I do think the bike that reflects the most wanted, classic bike is what Zed said, the Ripper

BITD I was lucky enough to have a Patterson Pro with chrome 7x's, Profiles, the works basically would deffo drop my left nut to have that back

The bike I always wanted but never had was a Hutch Pro Racer, my mate had one and I always like the way it looked and handled; I always thought and still do think that they are a cracking bike

gt performer (yellow of coarse)
t/a
kuwahara et
mongoose motomag

highrisedrifter · « **Reply #23 on:** March 20, 2007, 12:36 AM »

It was definitely the Skyway T/A for me, until I bought one at 13.

I'm about to build a Gen 1, so that only leaves the GT Pro Performer out of my magical three.

So Pro Performer it is then.
