Bob Haro's Master was a cutting-edge freestyle bike that revolutionized BMX. It was one of BMX's most important models in the 1980s. The Master was a frame with progressive geometry and bold graphic design. It was created for the future in BMX. The master is the ultimate in cutting-edge design.
In the 1980s, Haro Bikes was the dominant brand of freestyle BMX bikes. Riders of the bikes won almost every sport title. They were the most loved bikes of that era. FREESTYLIN’ Magazine published their first commercial 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 are the first two freestyle models. Both models share the same seat mast and head tube angles. They also share the same swaged rear triangle. There are some key differences between them.
The shape of the fork legs is a major difference. In the original generation, the fork stander had been placed higher on the fork legs. This allowed fork to fold out of the way and maintain upright riding position.
Later "Master" versions were redesigned. To eliminate cracking, the front gussets of the bike's frame were machined. These frames were also fitted more refined chainstaves. And the non-drive side dropouts were offset, rather than being brazed-on.
Torker BMX made the USA Haro Master 2nd generation. It had a striking resemblance with the original drawing of 1983 model. There were many new features, including swept dropouts and tapered seat stays. Double s-bend chains stays fed into the rear dropout to create a standing platform.
Another important change was the addition of a fully weldable gusset to the front. This reduced cracking risk and gave the Master a marginal weight edge.
The 1986 models featured the highest specification of the era. Although many of these bikes were built from the 1986 model, the specifications were modified to match the cost of the frame from 1986. 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. There were also gray and blue options. Haro Master came in two sizes, just like Sport and FST.
The 86 "Master" was a highly collectible bike. 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 had serial numbers beginning in 1985.
Haro made the frames using the correct manufacturing methods when it was time to reissue them. In this case, they used locally sourced raw materials.

How is parasailing different from parachuting?
Para-gliding is a form of flying above ground using a harness and a small sail. The harness allows for you to fly. It protects you from falling through the air.
You don't need any equipment to fly. Simply attach yourself to your sail. Then you take off. As you rise in altitude, the wind pulls against the sail. This makes it lift you.
You glide along the ground and keep moving forward. Your momentum propels you forward until you reach its end. At that point, you release your grip and fall back to earth.
If you're ready, reattach your sail.
The sport of parasailing is growing very fast. More than 1 million people participated in parasailing in 2013. It's nearly twice as many people did it in 2013 than in 2008.
