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. The master has set the standard for cutting edge design whether you ride flatland or freestyle.
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 one of the most beloved bikes of all time. FREESTYLIN' Magazine published their first advert 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.
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 share a swaged triangle at the rear. They do have some key differences.
The fork legs have a different shape. In the first generation, a fork stander was placed higher on each fork leg. This allowed fork to fold out of the way and maintain upright riding position.
Later "Master" versions were redesigned. The gussets on the front of the bike were machined to avoid cracking. These frames were fitted with more refined chainstays. These frames also had non-drive side dropsouts that were not brazed-on.
Torker BMX made the USA Haro Master 2nd generation. It was very similar to the original 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 did not only reduce cracking risks, but also gave Master a marginal 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. Master didn't have a stacked mast for the seats, as the FST and Sport did.
There were three color choices for the Haro Master. Neon Green was the team color. Blue and gray were also available. Haro Master was also available in two sizes, as with Sport and FST.
The 86 "Master", a highly collectible motorcycle, was the 86. These bikes were given to the team riders Ron Wilkerson and Dave Nourie. Some bikes were equipped only with the rear triangle. Other models had serial numbers from 1985.
Haro decided to reissue the frames using the era-correct manufacturing process when it came to doing so. In this instance, they used local raw materials.
FAQ
How is parasailing different from parachuting?
Para-gliding involves flying above the ground using a harness attached to a small sail. You can fly with the harness. It protects you from falling through the air.
You don't need any equipment to fly. Attach yourself to the sail. Then you go off. The wind pulls the sail against you as you climb in altitude. This allows it to lift you.
You continue moving forward as you glide along the ground. Your momentum will propel you forward until the cable ends. You release your grip at that point and return to the earth.
When you're ready to start again, reattach yourself to the sail.
Parasailing continues to grow at a rapid pace. In 2013, parasailing was enjoyed by more than 1 million people. This is almost twice the number of people who participated in parasailing in 2008
