ripper was the dream bike

The "RIPPER" was always my dream bike but i mostly remember the first time i saw a white TA in Phills bmx shop in h,pool. Amazing site at the time,
and to me the most stand out bike i saw in the day. Although the Quad was Legendary up in the North(we wer'nt used to engineering back then)

The most iconic In the US has to be the PK Ripper

ORB · « **Reply #11 on:** March 09, 2007, 10:42 PM »

GT Pro Performer
Hutch Trick Star
Super Goose
Burner (did I say that)
TA
Ripper
RL20 and RL20-II
Hutch Pro Star

I know these are mainly dream bikes, but thats my list, and I decide.

From wikipedia....

"An icon (from Greek εἰκών, eikon, "image") is an image, picture, or representation; it is a sign or likeness that stands for an object by signifying or representing it, or by analogy, as in semiotics; in computers an icon is a symbol on the monitor used to signify a command, file or record; by extension, icon is also used, particularly in modern popular culture, in the general sense of symbol — i.e. a name, face, picture, edifice or even a person readily recognized as having some well-known significance or embodying certain qualities."

Torker
Haro Gen 1
PK Ripper

Most iconic UK bike has to be, and dare I say it...

The MK1 Raleigh Tuff Burner in blue and yellow.

Not the most desirable but it sums up all that is early BMX BITD. Bright colours, mag wheels, dirt tyres.

RATTY · « **Reply #20 on:** March 10, 2007, 12:45 AM »

From the very earliest start in the uk it has to be the mongoose 2, or the supergoose. Nothing else comes close

Trev · « **Reply #21 on:** March 10, 2007, 12:57 AM »

street beat or haro master or gt performer. after that maybe the trickstar or the ta. burners are definitely in there regardless whether you like them or not.

LXIX · « **Reply #22 on:** March 10, 2007, 12:58 AM »

i do not meen to be rude here

Zippy · « **Reply #23 on:** March 10, 2007, 01:03 AM »

Iconic to me means most desirable at the time.

To me it was a Haro Sport because I could race it and freestyle it.

Mid school didn't exist for me at the time but now would be a Hoffman Condor or Evel Kneivel

New school to me would be a Kappa PK
