1984 became a pivotal year of evolution for the emerging BMX Freestyle scene as a series of factors combined to energize its phenomenal growth. On the leading edge of the new movement, a committed young entrepreneur and Freestyle pioneer named Bob Haro was already out-of-the-gate, having founded the first rider-owned Freestyle brand, Haro Designs, four years earlier. Bob Haro's vision for BMX Freestyle became the catalyst for the introduction of a series of innovative Haro products and accessories that essentially created the market for dedicated Freestyle products.
Without question, the catalyst for the rise in Freestyle participation in the early 1980s was the launch of the first dedicated frame and fork combination, the Haro Freestyler. Designed by Bob with several intelligent features, and manufactured by Torker BMX in Fullerton, California, the concept quickly legitimized Freestyle and alerted the established BMX racing industry to the new opportunity. Despite the arrival of competitive brands including GT, Hutch, and Redline, Haro Designs maintained a market-leading position throughout the 1980s, delivering some of the most stylish and innovative products in the 40-year history of the sport.
Haro - First Generation
Through new interviews, archive imagery, and era-footage, "Haro-First Generation" takes a deeper dive into the rise of BMX Freestyle during the early 1980s. Bob Haro and Mike Dominguez recall the legendary King of the Skate Parks contest series, and the transition from trick shows, and bike shop demo's, to the spectacular, "Big Air" skate park era.
At the center of the story, we celebrate a prolific era of product development at Haro Designs. In the Spring of 1984, the company launched two game-changing, Freestyle models - the first dedicated vert bike and Freestyle signature model - the Mike Dominguez Haro Sport, and the Haro Master - the next generation Freestyle bike that set standards for all to follow.
In celebration of this pivotal moment, we produce 300, limited edition, replica frame, and fork packages in Santa Ana, California. Using locally sourced raw materials and era-correct manufacturing techniques, the First Generation "Bob Haro" Master, and Prototype, single-top-tube "Mike Dominguez" signature Haro Sport, are packaged with replica jerseys, custom pad sets, and presented in custom, foam-lined display boxes. Each package is sequentially numbered and signed by Mike (Sport) and Bob (Master)
Don't miss out on owning one of these legendary era-authentic reissues from the first brand in Freestyle; Haro Designs.

As a kid in the 80's on the east coast there was nothing cooler than these guys riding bowls. We just had crappy launch ramps. Awesome to see this stuff still getting put out there.
Why, as a 54 year old man do I love these bikes still?
Alot of memories for sure, PK rippers, Ammaco and haro freestyle
Skyways and dia compe, the business
You can’t beat old skool bmx.Give me a Haro,Diamond Back,Mongoose,GT,Skyway,PK Ripper,Hutch,Torker,over anything today.BMX bikes today all look the same.All the bikes I’ve mentioned even Huffy’s,Murray’s and Raleigh BMX bikes which hardcore riders classed as Walmart bikes had some style abut them.
Haro was the bomb 💣 🙌🙌🙌👑🤙🏼
Nice to see Mike D get some recognition.
My 86 Haro Sport has always been my favorite bike ever. I wish I still had it. I tried other frames Big Daddy, Morales Flatland, Homless Solbro, Dyno Slammer, GT Pro World Tour, GT Performer, Mangoose Decade, Hutch Trick Star, Kuwahara Magician and more in search of the perfect bike to bridge the gap in my love for flatland, street and vert riding. Nothing ever matched the riding I was able to do on the Sport. Now I have a 2018 Haro Sport that I spent a year and a half picking and collecting the parts. Its finally assembled. It's done and I have a knee injury that may keep me from ever riding again. Its heartbreaking. I sit here staring at it sometimes just numb to everything around me.
Thank you for sharing this. Was awesome being a kid in the 80's for this reason only BMX
BMX à Vida é amor é amizade Tudo de bom em cada pedalada em cada salto é uma aventura constante quem anda nunca para mais de andar
Haro 4 life
I rode a Piranha until my 15th birthday (very many moons ago).
That day I took all my cash from everything between paper rounds, xmas and birthday money. £250.
My friends and me stopped off at a bike store on a train ride.
The dude in the strore was building a cream X1 and I knew I wanted it so fucking bad...
My boy at the time told the guy I only had £190 but we needed to go to the paid skate park after we bought the train again, and I'll always like to think the guy in the shop just wanted me to be with that bike because he sold it to me for £170.
That bike was my life and pride for years and while I went to college my Dad threw it out because the tires were flat and it took up room in the garage.
Absolutely heartbroken, but still the best bike imo ever, hands down
haro are the best to remind pepole are great they use to be 30 years ago
This is the prototype Haro Sport right? I Remember the retail version had a platform at the seat post.. closer to a GT Performer style platform. I Guess the prototype resembles modern frames.. so might be a desirable to the youth of today.. all good stuff. Bob and Mike.. BMX Legends!!
the Haro sport definitely the tougher of the two frames. I cracked my Haro master just under the head tube. Bought a red line RL 22 and never looked back. Still have it to this day ✌️😁👍
Had a GT Vertigo. Never had an issue with it.
As a newer BMX rider that's only been riding for less than a year I can definitely say the older haros can withstand mistakes and errors in tricks I originally rode a crappy voodoo bmx then I got a haro and I still ride with it and not a thing on it has even shown a sign of breaking
@@93_industries unfortunately I cracked the generation 1 and my friend cracked a degeneration two in the same spot. Where the bottom tude meets the head tube bracket. But this was back in the 80s 😁. He ended up with a redline RL 20 and I got the rl22. We both still have them to this day 😉
Do you still have any of the stuff from it ? Or has it been lost to time
@@93_industries I sold my flight cranks in the early 90's but the rest of the bike is still intact.
Please more history stuff. Not enough information online(that I can personally find) much love and respect!
Type 'history' into the search bar on digbmx.com and you'll find a ton of stuff. Enjoy!
@@DIGBMXOfficial 🙏🙏🙏
Great video 😎🔥👌🏽
I think one of the things I miss most about the 80s is Mag Wheels on BMX Bikes.
You can still get SKYWAY MAGS.I have a REDLINE FLIGHT 2005 Bubba Harris 24 inch and I picked up SKYWAY 24 inch mags.Alan’s BMX in Wigan does them.I had them years ago on my GHP(Greg Hill Products) bike.SKYWAY GRAPHITES with the Gold hubs.Loved them.
SICK!!
Great watch.
Coolest video ever
I still have my haro master.
SD North County is everywhere on earth...
Cool video
Del Mar Skate Ranch R.I.P.
Ok is it me or does Bob Haro look like Chris Moeller owner of S&M?
What’s the song at 0:58
I love BMX, more than anything, I love the history too. I appreciate all the legends. But I will always think that some of the old stuff is so embarrassing but I love it. So cheese but I respect it.
Those are a beautiful bikes too bad for me the price is impossible to buy it 🤫 especially with all this bs it’s happening right now but maybe one day I can afford it the haro master definitely is a beautiful bike for me 😎
Some of the frame and forks or even complete reissue bikes for sale at flatlandfuel.com are pretty reasonable. I started by just buying a Sport frame and it took me over a year of collecting parts to finish it but I was able to build the complete for under $800. Its one of the retro modern with integrated bearings, modern geometry but classic frame design, paint and stickers. I got a set of Skyway 5 spoke mags but with 14mm axles and 9 tooth driver. It all has a very classic 80s BMX look but all the modern tech. Start with a frame and work from there. You can get it done.
He used his adjustable spanner/wrench upside down! I can’t un see that 😅🤦🏼♂️

I have a HARO bike for my son
I want the sport . I'm 52 years old ☠
eBay 😀
there is no limit 😊
Ok... Hold on, everyone knows Mike D never used tools to build his bikes... Hand tight those nuts!
The shitty face masks that you could still knock your teeth out when wearing them.
👍👏👏👏👏👏👏
