I remember my mate having a P.K ripper, really liked 'em.

I opted for a G.T performer, was lush. Some bugger nicked it!

Some years later I bought a G.T vertigo but no way the same.

Loved BMX's just never got very good on them.

Yeah I'm kinda late on this but I haven't been on for a couple of weeks now.

If you really like the PK Rippers, SE has made a new limited editions of the PK Ripper Looptails (Retro Model)
I actually sat on one today and it brought me back to them old days LOL.
The bike is made really well and while I didn't get to ride it (it was a customer's bike that was waiting to be picked up) It felt really nice.

check here for the bike and specs.
http://www.sebmx.com/2007/bike-detail.asp?id=22

I'm also planning on building a Retro Quadangle Loop Tail

There is also the new 25th Anniversary Burner that has just come out. Not bad for £250


There is also talk of skyway bringing out a 25th Anniversary Skyway T/A. Look forward to that. http://www.coloredtuffs.com/shop/ind...ewCat&catId=39

There is a nice pk ripper ( survivor ) on ebay at the moment...

http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/PK-RIPPER-LOOP...QQcmdZViewItem

I reckon this one will finish around the £1000 mark.

Yep, I've seen this bike (I work around the corner from a DC Shoe store in NYC) I seen the vinyl graphic in the window and then realized the bike was inside. I went in ohhh and ahhh all over the bike LOL. I then asked the sales person if the bike was for sale? NO. Why!!!! LOL.
They only made 150 of those bikes and I'm guesing they will sell for a small fortune! The dude told me one sold on ebay for over 2,500 (US). There goes my dream of owning a cool bike again LOL.

I actually for my birthday bought a Stolen Heater. New School for now but will eventually get the Quad Looptail.
