Bob Haro's "Master", a revolutionary freestyle bike, revolutionized BMX. It was one of BMX's most important models in the 1980s. The Master was a frame with progressive geometry and bold graphic design. It was created for the future in BMX. The master has set the standard for cutting edge design whether you ride flatland or freestyle.
In the 1980s, Haro Bikes was the dominant brand of freestyle BMX bikes. The bikes' riders won almost every title in the sport. They were the most loved bikes of that era. FREESTYLIN' Magazine published their first advert in 1985. It wasn't until later, however, that the company released a series freestyle bikes which would set the stage for a new era of freestyle.
Haro Freestyler, and Master were the two first freestyle models on the market. Both models have the same head tube angle as well as a seat mast. Both bikes share a swaged back triangle. But there are a few key differences between the two bikes.
One important difference is in the form of the fork legs. In the original generation, the fork stander had been placed higher on the fork legs. This allowed fork to fold out of the way and maintain upright riding position.
Later "Master" versions were redesigned. The gussets at front of the bike were machined in order to eliminate cracking. These frames were also fitted with more refined chainstays. The non-drive side dropouts on the frames were also offset rather than brazed-on.
Torker BMX, Fullerton produced the second generation USA Haro Master. It was very similar to the original 1983 model. There were many new features, including swept dropouts and tapered seat stays. Double s-bend chains stays fed into the rear dropout to create a standing platform.
A significant addition was the introduction a fully welded front end gusset. This did not only reduce cracking risks, but also gave Master a marginal weight advantage.
The highest specification model of all time was the 1986 model. Although many of these bikes were built from the 1986 model, the specifications were modified to match the cost of the frame from 1986. The Master had a mast with a single seat, unlike the FST or Sport.
There were three color options for the Haro Master. Neon Green was the team issue. You could also choose from blue or gray. The Haro Master, like the FST or Sport, was available in two sizes.
The 86 "Master" was a very collectible bike. The bikes were awarded to all three team riders: Ron Wilkerson (Dave Nourie), Brian Blyther (Brian Blyther), and Ron Wilkerson (Ron Wilkerson). Some models only had the rear triangle. Other models came with serial numbers that were established in 1985.
Haro decided to reissue both frames using the era correct manufacturing processes when it came time. In this case, they used locally sourced raw materials.

How To
How can I start Base Jumping?
Base jumping, also called free-fall parachuting, is a sport in which participants jump from fixed objects, such as cliffs, bridges, towers, and buildings, without any equipment. To land safely, the participant must jump off the object. It's similar to skydiving but you don’t have to wear a parachute or hold your breath as you wait to open it.
The most common type of base jumper is called a wingsuit jumper. A wingsuit consists of two pieces, each piece of fabric being sewn together. One piece covers the chest, arms, and legs while the second covers the legs. The boots enable the jumper to stand upright while in flight. The jumper pulls the ankle straps tighter during descent. This causes the fabric covering his/her legs to bunch up under his/her body, creating an air pocket. The jumper can open his/her parachute if the air pocket is large enough and land safely.
Some base jumpers use powered suits to help propel themselves through the air faster. Powered suits have two main parts: a backpack containing batteries and a jet pack worn under the jumper's clothes. These small rockets fire small jets of hot-gas at high speeds. This creates thrust, which propels the jumper forward. These suits can be noisy and heavy.
BASE jumping can be a dangerous sport. You need to be aware of the dangers involved in learning how to BASE jump. You could fall off a cliff or hit an obstacle upside-down or head-on. Or you could collide with another jumper. Even though BASE jumping is not always dangerous, it can be very dangerous when done incorrectly. You can avoid injury by following these safety tips before trying to BASE jump.
Start by practicing safe BASE jumping techniques at a lower hill. Always take time to familiarize yourself with the terrain before jumping onto a larger hill. Also, be aware of weather conditions. You should not jump when the wind blows in your face. Also, be careful of foggy skies; if you can see more than 10ft ahead of yourself, you might need to wait until the clouds clear. Third, make sure you have the right gear. You should have a helmet, goggles and gloves as well as a complete suit including a harness. Fourth, make sure you have a plan. Before leaving the ground, ask someone to follow you if something goes wrong. Don't ever jump by yourself. Always have someone else watching over you.
