Bob Haro's Master, a freestyle bike with cutting edge design that revolutionized BMX, was the "Master" from Bob Haro. It was one of BMX's most important models in the 1980s. The Master was a frame that featured progressive geometry and bold graphics. It was built for the future of BMX. The master has set the standard for cutting edge design whether you ride flatland or freestyle.
Haro Bikes was the most popular brand of freestyle bikes in BMX during the 1980s. 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. However, it wasn't until later that the company produced a series of freestyle bikes that would define a new era in the freestyle scene.
The Haro Freestyler was the first model to be released. Both models share a common seat mast height and head tube angle. Both bikes share a swaged back triangle. But there are a few key differences between the two bikes.
One major difference is the shape of the fork legs. In the first generation, the fork stander was located higher on the fork leg. This allowed forks to fold up easily and kept the bike upright.
Later versions of the Master were redesigned. For example, the gussets at the front of the bike were machined to eliminate cracking issues. These frames were also fitted more refined chainstaves. 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 bore a resemblance to the original drawing of the 1983 model. A number of features were introduced, such as swept dropouts, tapered seat stays, and double s-bend chain stays that fed into a standing platform in the rear dropout.
Another major change was the introduction at the front of the Master a fully welded Gusset. This not only reduced the chance of cracking but also allowed the Master to have a slight weight advantage.
The highest specification models of that era were the 1986 models. While many of these bikes were based on the 1986 model, the spec was adjusted for the cost of the 1986 frame. The Master was not equipped with a stacked seat mast, unlike the FST/Sport.
The Haro Master was available in three colors. Neon Green was the team's issue. Gray and blue were also available. Haro Master was also available in two sizes, as with Sport and FST.
The 86 Master was a highly collectible bicycle. All three of the team riders (Dave Nourie, Ron Wilkerson and Brian Blyther) received one of these bikes. Some bikes were equipped only with the rear triangle. Other models were equipped with serial numbers starting in 1985.
Haro made the frames using the correct manufacturing methods when it was time to reissue them. They used locally sourced raw material in this instance.

How To
How do I get started with Base Jumping?
Base jumping, also known as free-fall parachute, is a sport that involves participants leaping from fixed objects (usually cliffs), like bridges, towers or buildings without any equipment. The participant jumps off the object and uses their parachute to land safely. This is similar to skydiving except that you don't need to use a parachute and you don't have to wait for it to open.
A wingsuit jumper is the most popular type of base jumper. A wingsuit is composed of two pieces of fabric that are sewn together. The chest, arms and legs are covered by one piece and the legs by the other. Special boots are worn by the jumper that allow him/her stand upright in flight. Jumpers pull the straps that attach to their feet tightly during descent. The material covering the legs will bunch up and create a large pocket under the body. This air pocket will grow large enough to allow the jumper to open his/her parachute, and safely land.
To propel themselves higher in the air, some base jumpers use powered suits. A backpack containing batteries and an under-cloth jet pack are the two main components of powered suits. These packs contain small rockets that shoot jets of hot gas at high speeds. This creates a thrust that propels the jumper forward. These suits can be noisy and heavy.
BASE jumping can seem intimidating to some people. If you decide to learn how to BASE jump, make sure you understand the risks involved. There are several ways you could die doing this activity: falling off a cliff, hitting an obstacle head-on or upside down, or colliding with another jumper. BASE jumping may not be always dangerous but it can still prove dangerous if done incorrectly. To avoid injury, check out the following safety tips before attempting to BASE jump.
Practice safe BASE jumping techniques starting on a small hill. Always take time to familiarize yourself with the terrain before jumping onto a larger hill. Second, watch out for weather conditions. You should not jump when the wind blows in your face. Foggy skies are another danger. If you can see more then 10ft ahead of you, you may need to wait for the clouds to clear. The third thing you should do is make sure that you have all the gear. Make sure you have a helmet, goggles, gloves, and a full suit with a harness. Fourth, ensure you have a plan. For any problems, have someone else follow you. Don't jump alone. Always have someone to watch over you.
