There was a bit in this book that said 'here's a freestyle bike' and there was a Ripper and a Haro... and the Ripper looked soooooo tasty :smitten:

Just got to love a Ripper :smitten:
-
I remember one of the "bigger boys" at our bmx track had one in white....it looked so much cooler than any other bike
And that's why I love em :smitten:
The day me and my Dad went to J&E James in Chesterfield to pick mine up I was sooooooooooooooooo excited.

3 friends had Rippers
2 white ones with black Tuffs :coolsmiley:
But Brian Beveridge had a Ball burnished Ripper . blue Z rims and the Full SE camo race gear , oh yes :smitten: :smitten: :smitten:
Thr whole SE deal ,,,,,the frames , the team , the camo. soooo cool
Everybody round our way thought Rippers were the coolest :coolsmiley:

I loved Rippers bitd but they were our most returned frames, always seemed to break at the chainstay behind the bb. I was always impressed by Mike Buffs feats on his Ripper and have to say his rides always looked cool.

That's where mine broke but it WAS after 2 years of 180 to rollbacks n rockwalks. ::)

think it was all about your riding style and how clumsy you was at landing, theres no denying they were the best looking frames with the best forks... :smitten:

I got my 1st one when my old Man told me he found the BMX I wanted in the paper and to go with him to collect it. On the way he told me it was a Halfords bike, I found it hard to hide my disappointment until we rolled up and this lad said " so your the lucky kid who's getting the P.K Ripper"....that was simply the best BMX moment I have ever had :4_17_5:
Loved that bike and still have it now :smitten: SE by far the coolest brand out there bitd

As a kid I never did freestyle parks or ramps because we didn't have any where I lived. Did the usual bunny hopping milk crates or home made jump ramps and we build some jumps in the woods near where I lived :smitten:
I raced my ripper for at least a season and never had a problem :daumenhoch:

always loved the pic of Buff dropping off of a rrof..think he was running z rims in the pic...can anyone oblige?
