Bob Haro's Master was a cutting-edge freestyle bike that revolutionized BMX. It was one the most iconic models of the 1980s. The Master frame was built around progressive geometry, and featured a bold graphic scheme. This frame was made for the future. Whether riding flatland or freestyle, the master set the standard for cutting-edge design.
Haro Bikes was one of the leading brands in freestyle BMX biking bikes during 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 their first advert in 1985. 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. They also share the same swaged rear triangle. However, there are some key differences.
One significant difference is the shape and size of the fork leg. In the first generation, a fork stander was placed higher on each fork leg. This allowed the fork stander to be folded up, out of the way, and maintained the upright riding position.
Later "Master" versions were redesigned. For example, the gussets at the front of the bike were machined to eliminate cracking issues. These frames were fitted with more refined chainstays. The non-drive side dropouts on the frames were also offset rather than brazed-on.
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. Not only did this reduce the risk of cracking, but it also gave the Master a marginal weight advantage.
The highest specification model of all time was the 1986 model. Although these bikes were often based on the 1986 model's specifications, they were modified for the 1987 frame. The Master did not have a stackable seat mast like the FST or Sport.
The Haro Master was available in three colors. Neon Green was team issue. Blue and gray were also available. The Haro Master, like the FST or Sport, was available in two sizes.
The 86 "Master" was a very collectible bike. This bike was given to team riders Ron Wilkerson, Dave Nourie and Brian Blyther. Some models were only equipped with the back triangle. Other models were equipped with serial numbers starting in 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 start Base Jumping?
Base jumping (also known as free-fall parachuting) is a sport where participants jump from fixed objects (usually cliffs), such as bridges, towers, buildings, etc., without any equipment attached to them. Jumping off an object is done by the participant. The parachute then helps them land safely. The process is very similar to skydiving. However, you do not need to wear a parachutee and don't have hold your breath while waiting for the parachute to open.
A wingsuit jumper is the most popular type of base jumper. A wingsuit is made of two pieces of fabric sewn together. One piece covers chest and arms, while the second one covers the legs. Special boots allow the jumper to stand straight during flight. Jumpers tend to pull their feet up tight during descent. This causes the material that covers the legs to gather and form a large volume of air under the jumper. Once the air pocket has grown large enough, the jumper will open his/her parachut and land safely.
Base jumpers often use powered suits to get through the air quicker. The two main components to powered suits are a backpack filled with batteries and a undercloth that houses a jetpack. These packs contain small rockets that shoot jets of hot gas at high speeds. This creates thrust which propels the jumper forward. However, these suits can be heavy and loud.
BASE jumping can seem intimidating to some people. It is important to understand the risks involved in BASE jumping before you attempt to learn. There are several ways to die while doing BASE jumping: you could fall off a steep cliff, hit an obstacle head-on, upside down or collide with another jumper. Although BASE jumping isn't always dangerous, it can prove very dangerous if done incorrectly. Before you attempt to BASE jump, make sure you follow these safety tips.
You can start by learning BASE jumping skills on a smaller hill. Be sure to spend a few minutes getting used to the terrain before you jump from a higher one. Also, be aware of weather conditions. Avoid jumping when the wind is not blowing in your face. Also, avoid foggy skies. If you see more than 10 feet ahead of yourself, then you might need wait until the cloud clears. You should also ensure you have the correct gear. A helmet, goggles, gloves and a full-suit with a harness are all essential. Fourth, be sure to have a plan. In case something goes wrong, you should ask another person to come along with you. Never jump by yourself. Always have someone watching over you.
