Tricky this - none of my choices made it through and I've gotta be honest, not one of these builds floats my boat so I'm out :yahoo_silent:
I'm certainly not voting for ridiculous money builds as they just seem to me personally to be missing the point of this hobby :-\

That PK Ripper that Rakas did is simply THE best build ever made end of........
I am new to collecting and bmx sites but I was directed to his thread recently and i read ever post in it. The craftsmanship, time and labour of love makes it the winner by a country mile. :4_17_5:
Genius.
All the other bikes are nice but nothing that we haven't seen before. Just my two pennies worth. >:D
-
Actually my votes were on John's Geese and Ash's Rippers as they were the bikes that got us into BMX as kids. Don't ever remember seeing Nat Pros BITD and the thought of not restoring the bits I can on my bikes I find offensive so if the ridiculous pink thing wins I'll be gutted.as it just says we should find the ost expensive parts we can and then get someone to build them into a bike for us - where's the passion and effort in that?
Maximum effort goes to Rakkas but even I can't ride it (got in before Ed did!)
I actually forgot about Carl's Robbo so that's getting my vote.
For the record BMX for me is hobby that I can't waste thousands of pounds on and is about taking something old and unloved an making it rideable and looking good again. Then riding it and not hanging it on a wall.
Rant over. Merry christmas planet earth!

Tend to agree with this. Don't get me wrong, all these bikes are great (and are far better than I could put together) but the fact that none of them have a opc says something, to me at least. Have voted all the same ;) Good luck guys!

Ever heard the saying 'To each their own', some people like riding all their bikes, some people like collecting and some people like myself like doing both, get over it, there is nothing wrong with any preference. And if you find anything to do with a Childs bike
'offensive' then you've got serious issues. We all know you like riding your bikes, you bang on about it often enough and that's great but I don't see your problem with people that want to collect. :idiot2:
-
come on lads, it's supposed to be a bit of fun :daumenhoch:

I agree with every word said... BUT it's NOT a bike, it's a model so for that reason and that alone it wouldn't get my vote :yahoo_silent: Still pure genius without a doubt.
As for Spens rant... that is just childish with a touch of jelousy thrown in. It all depends on what you like, what you want to build, memories and probably your roots.
I had never heard of a MT fox and a lot of other brands of the like untill i came on this site, i had however heard of all the expensive US brands as that's what my childhood dreams were made of.
The Itson Hutch regardless of cost is built to a riders spec from 'back in the day' and couldn't have been built in any other way. You can't paint a bike pink and call it an 'Itson rep' ::) so it is what it is.... Top Class, like it or not.
If we all aspired to the same BMX's, Rad would be a very boring place.
Love to all and Merry Christmas, good luck to the guys left in the running :daumenhoch:
I'm not bitter that mine fell at the first hurddle :'(

Spen did you get out the wrong side of bed , you could have got your point across abit softer instead of using a sledge
hammer :shocked:
love you really bro :-*
-
Peace and love to all - I thought I could say my thoughts on here and don't mind if you don't agree with me so no worries.
I just can't see the fun in simply spending the price of a great holiday or a car for my missus on kids bikes. End of really.
For the record I'm not jealous lads, non of my bikes ever win on here as I build them how I would have had them set up if I'd had them BITD so I have no issues there. I was pleased when 2 of my riders got put into this comp and that they got through a couple of rounds but at the end of the day it was John's iconic blue Team Mongoose or Ash's round-top Ripper for me as they scream childhood memories everytime I see them.
Yes I know I go on about riding my bikes but I've never stopped riding and love a bit of resto so I just don't see the appeal of putting NOS bits together or not even building it yourself. If that's your choice then fair do's fellas, but it's not mine. My brother and I give up most of the weekend at MK offering assistance and advice to all of you on here on how to fix your bikes and we will always lend a hand to any of you if you're a bit stuck, so I think you're maybe missing my point?
Ok, enough said and I'll get back in my box then. It's Carl's Robbo for me all the way then ;-)
-
It is sometimes difficult to construe the written word... :)
But it sounds like everyone is bumming again, so all good!!!!! ;D

Oh bollox, I'll put me popcorn away then. ::) :LolLolLolLol: :daumenhoch:

:LolLolLolLol: :LolLolLolLol: fun n games over :daumenhoch:
-
My votes in,was a tough choice between 2 bikes,both of which i have seen in the flesh,one of which has been on the start gate alongside my Free agent :daumenhoch:
I think the final has a good spread of bikes,3 freestylers,one pre 80 race bike,one midschool,two 80 plus race bikes,plus a marvel of model engineering.
There is only 1 bike i,m not so keen on.

Can't believe the number of phonecalls and PM's I had about this today :2funny:
Adam - I've just replied to your pm by the way and you're miles off - everyone on here knows I don't like Hutch's and I like show bikes even less, so you're bike just doesn't do it for me as I said ::)

i can see where spen is coming from tbh.
gotta stick up for my sheff/brum bro ;D
i done the nos builds myself when i first got back into the hobby.
but after a while it gets boring just bolting the new bits on.i mean at the end of the day it aint rocket science to build these things is it ???.
if you got the bits ready 1/2 hour and its done.
i get a lot more outta the hobby restoring stuff now and take that more into account than the bolt together route.
at the end of the day vote for which ya like :daumenhoch:

i understand that but im no restorer of parts but my latest build has tortured me,trying to sort parts out etc has took me forever and then getting my pedal spindles chromed ...what a fookin nightmare but the bike ive got sitting in my garage half done is stunning
-
is this the trick star that was at mk with the dice cable ends ?
-
love carls robbo but how the fook did ash's rippers not get through ?
-
Exactly Andy, my thoughts as well! That round top tube Ripper is iconic mate.
Not expensive enough?
No chance, that RTT f&f is as rare as fook and he was so lucky to bag it!
No NOS bits?
Mmm... Every nut and bolt was restored.
Mmm...
>;-)
-
there's accounting for taste i guess..........each to their own, as they say. for me that Ripper was the one bike i wanted to see at MK this year :daumenhoch:
i wouldn't shake Ashes hand again though, i'm still getting over it ;D
-
i wouldn't shake Ashes hand again though, i'm still getting over it ;D
me too - I'd need to book another series of physio ;D

a bmx that was not made of NOS parts and has actually been raced around a bmx track :daumenhoch:
-
Well done Carl, 1st place actual BMX :4_17_5: .
X2 funny thing is Carl , you were beaten into second place by joe's ripper which you entered into the competition ::) :D
Top bike Carl , glad it got the recognition it deserves 8)
Joe's Ripper is a very special little bike though .
Well done to all the finalists :daumenhoch:
-
some cracking builds but the mini ripper had to win.
-
Cant believe that Robo rust bucket won!!! ;D
Congratulations Carl, top bike. :daumenhoch:
Bloody good model though...! :shocked:
-
Well done Rakas17 (Joe) on the win... probably more hours went into this than any restore out there, A worthy winner IMO :daumenhoch:
congrats all the finalists, all winners really :4_17_5:
-
WOW .. Only just spotted this .. OMG im totaly shocked :shocked: .. WHICH IDIOT PUT THAT RIPPER IN :LolLolLolLol: it's not even a propa BMX .. :2funny:
For me it is a winner though . It was the one i wanted to see at MK .. :daumenhoch: Well done to Everyone for getting this far . I thought Adam's stunning Hutch was going to take it ...
Thank you for you votes everyone :coolsmiley: ..
By the way the 79 robbo that in my eyes pushes the white one will be finished in the next few weeks ... ^"^
HAVE A VERY HAPPY CHRISTMAS EVERYONE
Carl :daumenhoch:

-
well done to all 8 that made the final everyone a stunning build . congratulations to Joe on what can only be described as the most awsum bmx build ever . no nos/recon/hard to find parts here guys all HAND SCRATCH BUILT parts .:daumenhoch: a true labour of love. don :daumenhoch: dont think well ever see a build like it again. well done to CARL in2bmx on his second place stunning robo .what will 2012 produce :D

-
Voted for the haro master all the way through :smitten:
-
... anyone who saw the lil'ripper @ MK just had to stand and stare at what has been achieved on that AMAZING miniature 'bike'.
Its art...
and deserves to be recognized in as many way as possible.
Sometimes someone creates something that just makes you just stop in your tracks as its such an achievement ... this is one of those times... which is why it won.
There will be other years and other bikes but never anything like this.
:4_17_5:
-
I'll be honest..... when Carl first nominated the model ripper two things went through my mind - should it be allowed and will people be upset that it is ?
Then I thought.... it can never be entered in BOTM or BOTY so this is probably the place for it to get the recognition and I'm glad it's won because this "bike" seriously does have the X-Factor :coolsmiley:
:daumenhoch: :daumenhoch: :daumenhoch:

well done rakas, that little model deserved to win,
whether its rideable or not is irrelevent,
anyone griping is just bitter about not having the skills to pay the bills,
that haro master was my choice,

that haro master was my choice,
you'd be gutted if you went to for instance 'adult performer of the year' and found that fisrt place went to a blow up doll!you'd also be gutted if you'd spent a million restoring a rare ferrari only find yourself pipped to the post by a 1/3 scale model at a show.this is no different,no ones denying the boys got skills but surely they should gain some sort of applause on a model building forum??just my thoughts,and hey..i know the whole thing is :daumenhoch: just for fun!
-
i voted for carl's robbo all the way through,outstanding build :daumenhoch:
but joe's ripper is a worthy winner
-
puzzles me why the sour grapes tbh, ???
this should be the perfect high five to rakas for the effort he put into that,
this was for fun,
not BOTY where everything gets all serious bizznizz :LolLolLolLol:
i was chuffed betty's s&m made it so far too!

Nice one Joe for the mini ripper and Carl for 2nd, and everyone that took part, all winners as they say on the real X-factor. :4_17_5:

I'll be honest..... when Carl first nominated the model ripper two things went through my mind - should it be allowed and will people be upset that it is ?
Then I thought.... it can never be entered in BOTM or BOTY so this is probably the place for it to get the recognition and I'm glad it's won because this "bike" seriously does have the X-Factor :coolsmiley:

john..you remind me of a young Louis Walsh ;D
