here is the flyer, gonna be a good time

i went to the meet the street that was at emmy's bike shop in NYC that was a full on "street" weekend, a friend of mine and myself started our venture to NYC on our bikes on the friday night before the comp... we lived in south NJ. rode up to the bus depot about 20 miles away, waited for the next NYC bus (riding in the parking lot the whole time) hopped the NYC bus and finally got into the city at about 4am. rode all over the place trying to get aquainted and figure out where we needed to go. finally ran into craig grasso and realized we were there.... more people showed up and there were some cars parked in the "no parking" zones as the road was to be closed...... well, a bunch of us actually carried a VW rabbit onto the sidewalk, and lets just say some cars became road obstacles. met vic murphy and pete augustin there and took a subway ride up to mullaly park in the bronx for a bit, came back to the competition. i bent my skyway t/a 360 in half there and a friend told ron W who hooked me up with a sport frame. got some dirt bros swag from vic and pete and had a great time...... got back home sometime sunday........ stoked!

ahhhhhhhh, at least some people see the "look" im going for!

ok...... i recently ran into my friend lars tribus who was a pro DH mtn biker for quite a while..... well, it seems he is now the president of HCBMX.org a race track in flemington NJ. they are interested in doing an old school event (swap, show and race) at their fall classic race. gauging any interest at this point. bp

the radio news station reported to this comment, something along the lines of since the olympic team isnt funded by the government, they will go the cheapest route needed to get this stuff made they went on to say that quite a few politicians in washington made remarks that they should burn them and have them made in the USA not sure how true that is, but it kinda makes sense

so...... there i am at a graduation party for a friends son and the text comes through "i can get an older haro, are you interested?" my response, maybe..... got pics? well, the day goes with texts and no pics, we go to another party for friends that are moving to new mexico (i dont know how you army guys can move around all the time BTW) and the pics come through..... i make an offer, it gets countered.... by now my friend gets the owner of the bike in touch with me and we work a price...... now we need to work a transaction, the bike is about 3 hours from me..... well, we work that out as my buddy who initially found this for me rides DH mtn bikes with me and lives near this guy...... cool deal made, check sent, bike finally delivered early 86 haro master, all OG except the rear tire, tapered bars, early locking tech 5 levers, DC seatclamp, reflectors! interestingly, it came with a blue dominator that supposedly came stock, i thought they all have white seats. these are the bike in un-cleaned mode artistic shot in front of my hop vines the first bike i bought new was a white 86 master, be it i had only bought a f/f and custom built it, this has a significance to me....... enjoy

matt, along with slam ale, there is kegged hard cider, and there will also be on tap a oak aged cherry stout, a cream ale and 1 or 2 IPA's yummmmmmm

so im planning summerslam 8 08-04-12 no frills........ backyard bbq, riding, bikes, possible bands.... ive got no time to design a logo, decals,or anything like that, i want to make this a super chill event again this year interested?

i remember when those frames were coming out, i would say, yes... 02ish. they made great DH and slalom bikes and actually sponsored a few of my friends for DH racing, all the guys involved were cool also, it was a family business.... not sure if they are still around or not?

i need to get back to cali...... unfortunately this is again the same date that my kids have a recital

BINGO! nice on those..... i too have never seen a set in person or real time photos until now

7/30/06, of the bikes in this pic of my starting out days, i still own 4 bikes that are here. 85 gt world tour 86 haro sport skyway streetbeat DK general lee 16" (cooper rides that at the park) the peregrine frame in the pic is mine from 99 a pic of it built back up in 09 with about 85% of its original parts

be safe and enjoy whatever you are doing these next few days!

this is one that i found at an event here in NJ, i grabbed it just to keep it out of circulation as it has no stampings on it anywhere, the bottom could easily be passed as something that it is not
