Default BMX'rs. The Ltd Edition DC Shoes PK Ripper!

Since I was in the picture taking mood today LOL I stopped in the DC shoes store that has the PK Ripper. Such a freaking cool bike! I asked again if it was for sale and again I was told no
Oh, BTW I just checked Ebay and there is one of these for sale how much??? 3.5K$!!!! or 1.25K£!! Holy Sheet! And they said they made them for the those who couldn't get them the first time around.. with prices like that, I won't be getting one this time around either! hahaha.


DC Shoes/ SE Racing Black PK Ripper 031 of only 150 made.

The best BMX ever made. Maybe didn't win as much as some, but the coolest ever

Cool, I've also been looking at some old skool skate stuff, old Powell Peralta t-shirts and decks, can't ride anymore but its still v.cool stuff. Trying to get the t-shirts but they never have my size or the colour I like

Anyone remember the Bones Brigade?

I've just downloaded the 'Search for Animal Chin'

£1250 , I rode a set of the landing gear forks for the first few months I started until they bent.
I pulled the stickers off and painted them blue with a brush .

my bruv had a brushed aluminium(aloominum ) se racing
pk ripper, with the landing gear forks, tbh the aluminium welding
was the best welding i ever saw or have seen, it was amazing
shame he sold it for £ 80 quid in 1989.
his had green skways

not sure the new old school stuff does it for me
its got to be genuine 1980's

I have, as you can see the three most iconic decks from the 70's
Top one 77 Alva
Middle Z-Flex Jay Adams
Bottom Peralta Warptail 11
All original from the 70's and in unused condtion

Radman, wanna sell the D/T or Fibreflex or both ???? Please
