Bob Haro’s Master BMX Bike for the 1980s



mountain biking trail

Bob Haro's Master, a freestyle bike with cutting edge design that revolutionized BMX, was the "Master" from Bob Haro. It was one the most iconic models of the 1980s. With a frame built around progressive geometry and a bold graphic scheme, the Master was designed for the future of BMX. Whether riding flatland or freestyle, the master set the standard for cutting-edge design.

Haro Bikes was a dominant brand of freestyle-BMX bikes in the 1980s. Riders of the bikes won almost every sport title. This made them the most popular bikes of the era. FREESTYLIN’ Magazine published the first advert for them in 1985. The company would produce a line of freestyle bikes, which would be the beginning of a new era on the freestyle scene.

The Haro Freestyler was the first model to be released. Both models share the same seat mast and head tube angles. They also share the same swaged rear triangle. There are some key differences between them.

One significant difference is the shape and size of the fork leg. The fork stander in the first generation was higher up on the fork leg. This allowed forks to fold up easily and kept the bike upright.

Later versions of the Master were redesigned. The gussets on the front of the bike were machined to avoid cracking. These frames were also fitted more refined chainstaves. And the non-drive side dropouts were offset, rather than being brazed-on.

Torker BMX, Fullerton produced the second generation USA Haro Master. It bore a resemblance to the original drawing of the 1983 model. Many features were added to the model, including tapered seat stay, swept dropouts, and double-s-bend chain remains that fed into a standing platform at the rear dropout.


Another significant change was the introduction of a fully welded gusset at the front end. This increased the Master's risk of cracking and also provided a slight weight advantage.

The highest specification models of that era were the 1986 models. These bikes were many times based on the 1986 model. However the spec was modified for the 1986 frame's cost. Master didn't have a stacked mast for the seats, as the FST and Sport did.

Three color options were available for the Haro Master. Neon Green was team issue. You could also choose from blue or gray. As with the FST and Sport, the Haro Master was produced in two sizes.

The 86 "Master" was a very collectible bike. This bike was given to team riders Ron Wilkerson, Dave Nourie and Brian Blyther. Some models only had the rear triangle. Other models had serial numbers beginning in 1985.

Haro made the frames using the correct manufacturing methods when it was time to reissue them. In this case, they used locally sourced raw materials.

Because of the high level of competition, some sports can be considered extreme. Pro basketball players, for example, play against one another almost every day for many hours. Other sports are considered extreme because they require special equipment. For example, snowboarding involves riding down hills on boards with two wheels attached to the bottom.

Other sports are considered extreme because the rules are different from other sports. Soccer, for example, is played differently to American football.

Extreme sports may be defined as those where the participants must perform extreme feats in athleticism. Gymnastics is one example of extreme sports. The athletes must balance on various objects to avoid falling.

How To

How can I get started snowboarding?

This section will cover how to get started in snowboarding. We'll cover everything from what equipment to buy, where to go, how to learn, etc.

Let's begin with the basics.

"Snowboard", a board that you attach to your feet, used for skiing down hills. It usually has two edges (front & back) which make up the board's shape. To control speed, the edge at the front is longer than that at the back.

"Skier", a person who is skilled at riding a ski/snowboard down hills. Skiers wear boots, pants and helmets. Their heads are protected by helmets when they fall.

"Skiing" is a sport where you ride down hills on skis. You can do this on either natural terrains like mountains, or man-made terrains such as ski resorts. Skiing is a sport that requires special equipment. These include skis (poles), bindings boots, jackets gloves, goggles sunglasses, socks and wax.

"Riding Down Hills” - To go downhill, you first need to know how to stop falling. To do so, you use your legs to push against the ground at the same time as pulling your back leg up and kicking your front leg forward. You keep doing this until you reach the desired speed. The faster you travel, the harder you must pull your legs up and kick them forward. Once you reach your speed goal, you can relax and let your legs connect. If you need to slow down, just do the same thing.

Once you have learned how you can stop yourself from hitting the ground, you need to find out how fast. There are many ways to measure speed. Some prefer to count the number of laps that you make around the mountain. Others prefer to see the distance traveled from one turn to the next. If you want to practice controlling your speed, try measuring your speed by timing yourself or by counting laps. Practice makes perfect!

Once you've mastered speeding up and slowing down, it's now time to learn how to turn. To turn, simply lean towards the side that you want to move towards. Don't lean too far or you will crash to the ground. If you don't lean enough, you will not be able turn. Once you're able to turn correctly, you can start learning tricks. Tricks are fancy moves on the slopes that require precision timing and balance. These include flips, spins and cartwheels.

There are many tricks. You can do tricks like jumping over obstacles or flipping obstacles. There are also tricks that require you to spin over obstacles. Each trick has its own set requirements. You might need to spin 180 degrees midair if you are trying to jump above something before you land on the opposite side.

There are many different types of tricks. For example, some tricks require precision and accuracy, tricks that require strength, tricks that require agility, and tricks that require finesse.

Tricks are not easy to master. You can learn tricks anywhere, any time once you master them. While skiing is often thought to be an activity for adults, children enjoy playing on the slopes. It's amazing to watch kids slide down hills, jump over obstacles, and perform some impressive tricks.
