Bob Haro's "Master", a revolutionary freestyle bike, revolutionized BMX. It was one of BMX's most important models in the 1980s. The Master is a bike that was built around progressive geometry with a bold design scheme. Whether riding flatland or freestyle, the master set the standard for cutting-edge design.
Haro Bikes was the most popular brand of freestyle bikes in BMX during the 1980s. Nearly every title in the sport was won by riders riding Haro Bikes. These bikes were among the most popular of their era. In 1985, their first advertisement was published in FREESTYLIN’ Magazine. But, it was only later that the company developed a line of freestyle bicycles that would revolutionize the freestyle scene.
Haro Freestyler and Master are the first two freestyle models. Both models have the same head tube angle as well as a seat mast. Both share a swaged triangle at the rear. But there are a few key differences between the two bikes.
The fork legs have a different shape. In the original generation, the fork stander had been placed higher on the fork legs. This allowed the fork and bike to fold down while still maintaining a straight ride.
Later models of the "Master", however, were redesigns. The gussets on the front of the bike were machined to avoid cracking. These frames were also fitted to more refined chainstays. Non-drive side dropouts were instead brazed on, but they were offset.
Torker BMX in Fullerton made the second-generation USA Haro Master. It bore a resemblance to the original drawing of the 1983 model. There were many features added, such as tapered seat stays and swept dropouts.
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. Although many of these bikes were built from the 1986 model, the specifications were modified to match the cost of the frame from 1986. Unlike the FST and Sport, the Master did not have a stacked seat mast.
There were three color choices for the Haro Master. Neon Green was the team color. Gray and blue were also available. Haro Master came in two sizes, just like Sport and FST.
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 bikes were equipped only with the rear triangle. Other models were available with serial numbers starting from 1985.
When it came time to reissue both frames, Haro decided to make them using the era-correct manufacturing processes. They used locally-sourced raw materials in this case.

How To
How can I get started in 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. To safely land, the participant jumps from the object. 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 is the most common type base jumper. A wingsuit has two pieces of fabric, which are sewn together. The chest, arms and legs are covered by one piece and the legs by the other. The boots are specially designed to allow the jumper stand upright during 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. When this air pocket becomes big enough, the jumper opens his/her parachute and lands safely.
Base jumpers may use powered suits to propel themselves faster through the air. The main components of powered suits include a backpack that contains batteries and a jacket with a jetpack. These packs contain small rockets that shoot jets of hot gas at high speeds. This creates thrust that propels the leaper forward. These suits can be quite loud and heavy.
BASE jumping is not for everyone. Learn how to BASE Jump. Be aware of the risks. 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, while not always dangerous is dangerous. However, it can be very dangerous if done improperly. Be sure to follow the safety tips below before you attempt to BASE Jump.
Practice safe BASE jumping techniques starting on a small hill. You should always take a few minutes to get comfortable with the terrain before jumping off a larger one. Also, be aware of weather conditions. If the wind isn’t blowing, don’t jump. 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. You should also ensure you have the correct gear. Make sure you have a helmet, goggles, gloves, and a full suit with a harness. Fourth, make sure you have a plan. If something goes wrong, ask someone to help you. Don't jump alone. Always have someone to watch over you.
