Thanks guys, just thought i'd share these pictures, you may have seen them before on our site or elsewhere, Bob Haro doing a demo with Steve Cassap, Australia 1984, not sure of the location though ? Looks like some pictures are taken from a demo at a race meeting and the last pictures from a college or school ?

Howdy and welcome Jay, don't have any haros myself but remember lusting over one in a shop window in about 1985. It looked remarkably similar to a member on here's bike. Dig through some of troyboys posts and find his white haro.... Not sure of the year but pretty sure you'll like it.....and troy ...if you ever want it looked after you know where to find me.

                                                                                                                                                                                Yeah, Colored Skyway wheels showed up occasionally in BMX magazines.From what i know, these wheels were only made specially for team riders and never actually produced for sale.I had a rare chance to speak to Mike Dominguez over in Germany about these wheels as i built a replica of his Haro freestyler and it was on show there,He explains he went through a ton of wheels and basically Skyway would just send out anything he asked for, Campy/Graphite hubs in white tuffs were not a problem.Mike ran blue hubs on his Haro freestyler, but turns out he recalls just painting these himself.Not only did Skyway do these one off tuffs with gold hubs, but we come across rare team graphites with silver hubs instead of gold. Cool stuff......



The below Blue tuff was belonged to Rich sigur, rare blue with Campy/graphite hub....

Check out the blue tuff in this Haro ad.......
