I got the Big Ripper today, first off the color is sooooo much better in person I really love the blue they used this year. All in all for the price point is a pretty good deal. I added some of my own parts to make it mine. Gold: seat post clamp, chain tensioners, axle nuts, grip locks, bar ends, pedals and Profile sprocket, and some ODI grips with blue donuts, and a White Industries Freewheel. I did change the cranks, I didn't care for them. But anyway its lots of fun and the coolest bar hopper around. Plus you can wheelie the hell out of these bikes with the right gearing.

Nice Big Ripper. I like the fact that you changed up some stuff to make it yours and blue and gold (to me) is one of the all-time classic BMX color combos. I bought a 2009 Floval Frame and fork and am in the process of building it; just waiting for a few more parts to arrive. I really can't wait to ride this thing because it will be the first bike I have built from the ground up since '81, and it will be the first time I have ridden a bike with modern geometry.
