My Baby Blue SE Mini Ripper
This is my first racing BMX. It is an SE Mini Ripper and my Dad bought it for me second hand for £130 in June 2011. The bike was quite heavy when I got it (nearly 16lb) and it had a 42 tooth cog on the front which was too big for me and made it very hard for me to pedal. We did not really know about BMX's and gearing etc. so we didn't realise, until one of the BMX Dad's told us, that the cog was too big for a boy my age. My Dad found a Gear Chart on BMX Talk and then bought me a new 37 tooth cog. This gear was much better for me and I started to do a lot better in my races. My Daddy has bought me lots of new bits from BMX talk for my bike to try and make it lighter. |
