Bro the intro with the Z nexted to the fox body drop along with the gxer and YZ 2stroke got me… all things iv owned or still do. Guarantee if we met we’d be best of friends by the end of our meeting lol. Nice stuff man an good video!
thanks man! i know they are just materialistic but when i see my garage, i feel accomplished and proud. i wish we could kick it... what state you from?
I feel your pain on bikes these days the chain rings cranks hubs to name a few are total junk out of the box and off the dealer floor. I went thru all that and more with mountain bikes. It's like you have to buy/install all the upgrade parts before you ride it for the first time to get a finished product that will last but that will void the warranty and that is super expensive. Not just SE but all bike companies should offer up the complete bikes or frame and forks so we can build the bikes of our dreams but it's mostly 20" bmx bike frames get that option.
I get the frame thing, I personally love the look of stock, if I was going to replace anything it would probably only be brakes anyways but a lot of people tear down everything
Nice video - I have the bike you said you wanted; the GT Pro Performer 2021 blue. I love it too, been doing simple mods for cosmetics. Damn dude I wish you lived in the DMV // MD area we could ride out!
I’m 39 and wanted to get back into riding bikes .. I’ve always been a skateboarder first, but my knees just can’t take it anymore because of previous injuries .. I was seriously looking at SE at first, because they’re everywhere! But doing my homework before I dropped the cash on a complete I noticed a lot of companies do this , they sell bikes with cheap parts that are meant to be upgraded.. so I ended up buying an EVIL, because their bikes come loaded with top shelf parts .. it was more expensive, but worth it when you start adding up the parts separately .. the fork alone on my EVIl is worth close to $1000 .. I got the whole bike on sale for $1400.. much peace and respect from Southern California 🤙🏻 ✌🏻
BEEN eyeballing Ripper 29 over another 24 cruiser. Totally agree how do suck every complete I had past 20 yrs gotta upgrade crap crankset. Odyssey Twombolts or similar cost much as good custom rear wheel but never broke ODSY or my Fit indents. Good chill video, THX. RIDE ON. PS: I used to live in NW & mud sucks!
I live on the East Side and with the Maniacc Flyer sale it is impossible to find anywhere. Just got my hands on one and it takes to 2 weeks to deliver.
I just got a 2021 blocks flyer and I sold my 2019 blocks flyer and the 2021s are hard and one tip to get a new one is call a lot of bike shops all them every week
Hey what’s up Brotha! From personal experience, would you say se bikes are solid for long ride outs? Not too familiar with the bike game but I’ve always thought BMX style bikes were meant for street and parks etc but def seen a lot during those long ride outs. Appreciate your help I’m advance g!
I got a 2020 so cal delived to my house in 2019, and none of these were issues. I actually didnt have any issues with my So cal. Its lasted 3 years and is still going strong. Ive gone through 2 pairs of grips, because the original SE grips slowly twist, wheelie by wheelie until they tear.
Looks like you're on a 20" PK Ripper? #6 assembly is good out of the box, but you have to loosen chain and retighten everything. Air up tires. Adjust bars. Ect. Ect. I want a 27.5 PK Ripper in Silver Aluminum but they're hard to find. I may have to try the beast mode.
Dig the video and agree 1,000 percent! Arctic is muh favorite too 👍🏻 and yep I’m picking up a GT world tour sky blue tommorow 🥰,,, can’t wait. Liked and subbed Ohhh btw dig your channel name lol 👍🏻
8 spline 3pc cranks with pinchbolts are notorious for loosening up. Put a wrench on them before every ride. Other than that, you should always get your bike assembled at a reputable bike shop. Solves a lot of the issues associated with lower quality bikes.
I agree bro shipping is rough af but I love upgrading ‘em, attention to detail. I got GT Performer upgraded it w high end parts and it’s a sick bike. Blue big ripper on the way, I’ll change the brake lever& cable, throw a WI freewheel on it and go wheelie that mofo
I’m over here with a new 29” Big Flyer… I should’ve stretched the extra $100 and got the Ripper for the higher quality but I was a sucker for the Big Flyer camo blue with white bars.
would you say SE bikes are good to learn wheelies on cause rn i have a really old bike that doesnt pedal well and has no back break so its hard to learn should i buy a big ripper and learn or nah? im thinking a big ripper cause im 6'2 185 at 14 so im still gonna grow more
im tryna buy a SE Bike but i live in new york city, a lot of SE Bikes are stolen (my friend got his stolen weeks ago) how would i be able to make my shit theft proof
Put apple air tags in the bars or something so you can find it or bring it inside every time I live in a small apartment in maine and I have to squeeze my bike into mine it sucks but better then it getting stolen
Real shit about the frame my friend broke my public enemy frame and I was searching for someone willing to sell the frame I had a friend but he flaked on me and I ended up buying a maniacc off my friend for 500 flat
Great and beautiful bikes its a shame they are made in China. Does SE. Really make that much more money out sourcing the work. They seem like a company that's actually driven by the love of the sport not the ol mighty dollar. If that's their reason to not make the bikes in the USA.
I prefer gt bikes over se just feel like se is overrated. I ride the 2021 gt performer heritage in peach and personally love the bike and feels better to me compared to my buddies big ripper
I have the white Heritage in 20". My friend has the pink one and we ride them hard. Yes they are a bit over-priced, but they are leaps and bounds above a department store bike.

chest mount with gopro as well

Man for the price of these bikes, they should come with a second set of tires free
they are cheaper compared to last year!
Or a chromoly frame 🤷
I feel ya on frame and forks Bro. They charged me a rack to chrome my Ripper
ouchhh!!!

the big wheel bmx bike like SE are great for just cruising and relaxing. but the 20" bmx bikes are made for tricks
@@juiceboxjigga Appreciate that boss! So the retro 29” should be a solid choice for cruising and ride outs? :)
most definitely. if your still worried they even make these 29' bmx bikes with gears to make it even easier... cost more money though
Love arctic white .I bought the polished looking version with blue. About a month ago. Wish they still had the arctic white. But I love mine as well
i think its the best to this day as well

“ Juiceboxjugga” hmmm, definitely heard that wrong
My dealer had a shipment arriving in a few days of 2024 Beastmode PK's... 3 incoming and 2 were already sold. I got the last one thankfully.
Awesome video just got a 2021 se bikes stealth mode big flyer on city grounds I bought it last night can’t wait
hell yea! im sure you will be better at raising it up than me lmao
@@juiceboxjigga I can do a Couple combos on my other bike and wheelie pretty good so I want to see if it is easy to wheelie a 29 lol
nice and clean bike you got there

Nice I chose the 2022 sunday high c love it so far expecting to replace the freewheel and stem already 😅
i sold mine sadly. i had the all chrome and the toothpaste
How to change the free wheel on Sunday to what
Dig the video and agree 1,000 percent! Arctic is muh favorite too 👍🏻 and yep I’m picking up a GT world tour sky blue tommorow 🥰,,, can’t wait. Liked and subbed
Ohhh btw dig your channel name lol 👍🏻
hell yes! you going to customize you rGT?
Thanks for the love man!
8 spline 3pc cranks with pinchbolts are notorious for loosening up. Put a wrench on them before every ride. Other than that, you should always get your bike assembled at a reputable bike shop. Solves a lot of the issues associated with lower quality bikes.
My number one thing is why don’t they make these elite race frames and bike in the USA like Crupi
I agree bro shipping is rough af but I love upgrading ‘em, attention to detail. I got GT Performer upgraded it w high end parts and it’s a sick bike. Blue big ripper on the way, I’ll change the brake lever& cable, throw a WI freewheel on it and go wheelie that mofo
GT may be next in the line up for me
i got a GT instead of an SE, what do you recommend upgrading in parts?
@@caybell chianring , bars , pedals 💪😎👍
Are the big ripper bikes reliable? Any problems?
they are pretty great
I've got a 2020 om flyer with over 300 miles and my crank is fine. It was assembled by a local shop that I know the owner of though.
good for you
Iam building my own se from frame up
I’m over here with a new 29” Big Flyer… I should’ve stretched the extra $100 and got the Ripper for the higher quality but I was a sucker for the Big Flyer camo blue with white bars.
would you say SE bikes are good to learn wheelies on cause rn i have a really old bike that doesnt pedal well and has no back break so its hard to learn should i buy a big ripper and learn or nah? im thinking a big ripper cause im 6'2 185 at 14 so im still gonna grow more
@@rechecked6601 get the one with the wide tires. The wider the tire the easier to wheelie.
@@TransformersHoarder i appreciate the tip bro didn’t think you’d respond so save up a little extra for the big ripper? cheers bro thanks
where you ridin? some views kinda look like port orange florida
Houston Tx my friend
I m in germany and i look since months for a collective mafia or se it s so hard to get one
Wdym your crank fall apart? Do you not maintain your bikes
Shouldn’t have to maintain a brand new bike. We shouldn’t have reassemble our francs just to grease them correctly… this should be done at the factory
i live en denmark its so hard to buy se bikes here
sorry to hear that. keep looking through the internet
Nice. First mud on the bike always makes you cringe. I've never learned how to wheelie and I'm 77 y.o. 😮
NICE! mind over body. what bike do you ride?
Easiest way to get the bike you want is to make a good relationship with a certain bike shop
Is this bike good for weight loss. Just for cruising 10 miles a day
any bike is good for weight loss. im not a personal trainer but if ypu putting miles + hills on this it a work out
@@juiceboxjigga which SE bike would you recommend as someone who’s 5’6 230lbs
@@lupehn big ripper , fast ripper or monster quad
@@juiceboxjigga I got the fast ripper for the 10 gears and Thanks for the response
This a go pro chest mount?
yes sir!
I’m 5’8 should I get a 29”, 27.5” or a 26”?
each one of those sizes will be fine... but the question is what will you be doin with your SE bike? jumps, wheelies, tricks ect...?
@@juiceboxjigga Nahh just cruisin, appreciate it☝🏾
Can u put old school cranks on a se bike
Se has switched BBs though out the years
Just get a bottom bracket that takes the proper size spindle for the crank you want to use.
👍🏼
Add an electric motor the bafang mid drive fit on it. 68-73mm
Gt pro series 2021 crankset is good
Trying to get myself one of these soon
Did you ever get one?
@@juiceboxjigga not yet, my local bike shop were out of stock
@@juiceboxjigga do you recommend getting one? I seen one for $750 almost new
There are other aluminum bmx bikes that come in large sizes

1 Cheap low quality parts
I like my throne better than my old se
Or just go to city grounds and get so cals blocks and bigs
Real shit about the frame my friend broke my public enemy frame and I was searching for someone willing to sell the frame I had a friend but he flaked on me and I ended up buying a maniacc off my friend for 500 flat
Redline greatest cranks of all time bruh. Since the 80s
next bike with be redline or GT for me. id like to test em out
Get a collective
#6…. No front brakes. For the cost of these bikes, they need to be added.
lots of models have them depending on which one you decide to get. but imo the big ripper is better with out them

I got a big flyer stealth mode and it came with blocks flyer stickers 🤦♂️
We can fix that 😉
They ster at you! Because they never seen a bkacknan on a nice bnx bike!!!
lmao!
SE bikes are good quality but are still way overpriced for what you get... a very basic bike.
Yep. Their greed shows. I was all about them 20 years ago.
yo im the 666th subscriber... pretty freaky huh 😂
AYYYYYYYY! thats one Hell of a number.......
Hi
hi
It was hard for me to like this video because it had 420 likes....but I did any way.
my good man
You'll buy the same one others are orfering
Se deadddd
GT and Haro are jokes now. Cheap China bikes. I'd go for brands that actually care about their riders like Fit, S&M and Cult.
Fit is my favorite
And they’re made in China!!
I kinda do want things made in America anyway. Don’t hate me lol
Wheelies on a bike built for wheelies ain’t special and there just cringe bikes
you sound kinda mad?
Found the guy who rides a huffy..........
Better than any mountain bike
Since when were BMX bikes only made for wheelies either, even the oversized ones are intended for way more, they’re just good for wheelies
Gt and haro are junk nowadays. They look cool with their retro bikes but they are total crap comparable to a Walmart mongoose.
I can’t speak for the big bikes myself but I doubt it, but I know their 20 inch retros are great
wow i used ti love haro... but i think comparing them to mongoose is kinda harsh. do you only Ride SE bikes?
@@juiceboxjigga no I ride whatever I like and even most of the companies that aren't as good anymore have a few good models.
I have the white Heritage in 20". My friend has the pink one and we ride them hard. Yes they are a bit over-priced, but they are leaps and bounds above a department store bike.
That's a stem pad.
