Bob Haro's Master was a cutting-edge freestyle bike that revolutionized BMX. 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, a leading brand in freestyle BMX bikes, was dominant in the 1980s. Nearly every title in the sport was won by riders riding Haro Bikes. This made them the most popular bikes of the era. FREESTYLIN’ Magazine published the first advert for them in 1985. But it was not until much later that the company created a line freestyle bikes that would change the face of the freestyle world.
The Haro Freestyler and Master were the first two freestyle models to hit the market. 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 significant difference is the shape and size of the fork leg. The fork stander used to be higher on the fork leg in the first generation. This allowed the fork to fold up and out of the way while retaining the bike's upright ride.
Later models of the "Master", however, were redesigns. For example, the gussets at the front of the bike were machined to eliminate cracking issues. These frames were fitted with more refined chainstays. Non-drive side dropouts were instead brazed on, but they were offset.
Torker BMX made the USA Haro Master 2nd generation. It had a striking resemblance with the original drawing of 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.
A significant addition was the introduction a fully welded front end 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. Unlike the FST and Sport, the Master did not have a stacked seat mast.
There were three color schemes for the Haro Master. Neon Green was a team issue. Blue and gray were also available. Like the FST, Sport and Haro Master were available in two sizes.
The 86 Master was a highly collectible bicycle. Team riders, including Dave Nourie, Ron Wilkerson, and Brian Blyther, all received one of these bikes. Some were only equipped with the rear triangle of the frame. Other models had serial numbers from 1985.
When it came time to reissue both frames, Haro decided to make them using the era-correct manufacturing processes. In this instance, they used local raw materials.

How is parasailing different than parachuting
Para-gliding allows you to fly above the ground with a harness attached by a small sail. You can fly with the harness. It protects you from falling through the air.
Flying requires no special equipment. All you have to do is attach your self to the sail. Then you go off. The sail will be pushed against the wind as you ascend in altitude. This causes it to lift you.
You continue moving forward as you glide along the ground. Your momentum keeps you moving forward until you reach a cable's end. You let go of the cable and you return to earth.
When you're ready to start again, reattach yourself to the sail.
Parasailing has been growing rapidly. More than 1 million people participated in parasailing in 2013. This is nearly double the amount who did it in 2008.

How To
How do I get started with Base Jumping?
Base jumping (also called free-fall Parachuting) allows participants to jump from fixed objects (usually cliffs), including bridges, towers and buildings, with no equipment attached. The participant jumps off the object and uses their parachute to land safely. It's similar to skydiving but you don’t have to wear a parachute or hold your breath as you wait to open it.
A wingsuit is the most common type base jumper. A wingsuit is two pieces of fabric joined together. One piece covers the chest and arms, and the second piece covers the legs. 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. Once the air pocket has grown large enough, the jumper will open his/her parachut and land safely.
Some base jumpers use powered suits to help propel themselves through the air faster. The two main components to powered suits are a backpack filled with batteries and a undercloth that houses a jetpack. These small rockets can fire hot gas at high speed from the packs. This creates thrust and propels the jumper ahead. These suits are loud and heavy, however.
BASE jumping can seem intimidating to some people. If you decide to learn how to BASE jump, make sure you understand the risks involved. You can fall off a height, get hit head-on or upside-down, or collide and injure 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.
Begin by learning safe BASE jumping techniques on a smaller hill. It is important to take some time to get used to the terrain before you attempt to jump off of a higher hill. Pay attention to weather conditions. Make sure the wind doesn't blow in your face when you 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. Make sure you have the proper gear. A helmet, goggles, gloves and a full-suit with a harness are all essential. Fourth, ensure you have a plan. If something goes wrong, ask someone to help you. Never jump by yourself. Always have someone else watching over you.
