Bob Haro's "Master", a revolutionary freestyle bike, revolutionized BMX. It was one among the most influential models of 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 a dominant brand of freestyle-BMX bikes in the 1980s. Nearly every title in the sport was won by riders riding Haro Bikes. This made them one of the most beloved bikes of all time. FREESTYLIN’ Magazine published the first advert for them in 1985. It wasn't until later, however, that the company released a series freestyle bikes which would set the stage for a new era of freestyle.
Haro Freestylers and Master were two of the first freestyle models that hit the marketplace. Both models share a similar head tube angle and seat mast. They share a swaged front triangle. But there are a few key differences between the two bikes.
One major difference is the shape of the fork legs. In the first generation, the fork stander was located higher on the fork leg. 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. The gussets at front of the bike were machined in order to eliminate cracking. These frames were also fitted more refined chainstaves. 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. 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.
The introduction of a fully-welded gusset at its front end was another significant improvement. 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. 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 was not equipped with a stacked seat mast, unlike the FST/Sport.
Three color options were available for the Haro Master. Neon Green was the team's issue. There were also gray and blue options. As with the FST and Sport, the Haro Master was produced in two sizes.
The 86 "Master" was a very 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 were equipped with serial numbers starting in 1985.
Haro decided that they would reissue both frames using the same era-correct manufacturing techniques. They used locally-sourced raw materials in this case.

The faster you go, the more you will have to lift your legs and kick them forward. Once you reach the speed you desire, relax your legs and let them come together. Repeat the process if you need to slow it down.
Once you've learned how to prevent yourself from colliding with the ground you will need to figure out how fast. There are many ways to measure speed. Some prefer to count the number of laps that you make around the mountain. Others prefer to see the distance traveled from one turn to the next. If you are looking to improve your control of your speed, consider measuring it by either timing yourself or counting laps. Practice makes perfect!
After you have learned how to slow down and speed up, it is now time to learn the tricks of turning. To turn, just lean forward towards the side you want. You will fall to the ground if you lean too much. Don't lean too far and you won’t be able move. Once you can turn well enough, you can begin learning tricks. Tricks are complex moves that require balance and timing. They include tricks such as flips and spins.
There are many tricks. There are many tricks. Some involve leaping over obstacles. Others involve flipping over or spinning over obstacles. Each trick comes with its own set of requirements. To jump over a thing, you might need to spin 180° midair, before landing on the other end.
