Title: PK Rippers are cool - FACT
Post by: jimwise68 on April 06, 2008, 09:43 PM: In this month's Stuff magazine they have an article about the 2007 Looptail Ripper. They say how Old School diehards would go for an original looptail if they could find a decent one and they were "the first (and only)" aluminium BMX frame. they also listed 4 pioneers of BMX and one of them was some guy called Dave Haro who started haro bikes and was one of the riders in the film ET.

So who is this Bob Haro imposter then? :LolLolLolLol:

Title: Re: PK Rippers are cool - FACT
Post by: billstup on April 07, 2008, 02:21 PM: Because to have graphites bitd you were either minted, or were sponsored, and if you were either then you`d have flites or profile box cranks too :police:

Sorry I disagree, I like my Retro Rippers, nothing w@nk about them at all...they just aint originals, and whilst I can understand people preferring the original article, I think as a copy they are pretty damn good.

I think they stand out in a cool way and that can only be a good thing.
