Bob Haro

Bob Haro (born June 29, 1958, in Pasadena, California) is a former freestyle BMX rider turned artist and business executive. He is the founder of Haro Bikes and was one of the most important early innovators of BMX freestyle. He began biking in his high school sophomore year when he ran out of money riding dirt bikes. His father bought him a Honda 100 and he stripped the bike down to compete in motorcycle races. He won over 50 motocross trophies by 1975. Around 1976, he got into BMX biking by racing his brother's bike out behind a bike shop in San Diego. After moving to Stockton, California as a result of his parents' divorce, Bob really got started racing and riding for a sponsor for Molina's Bike Shop. He was one of a small group of BMX'ers in that town to perform many of the common tricks. In 1978, Haro teamed up with R. L. Osborn to form the very first freestyle BMX team, which made its debut at ABA's Winternationals in Chandler, AZ. In 1981 Bob Haro and Bob Morales traveled on tour together performing shows all over the Midwest, Eastern United States, and parts of Canada to enthusiastic crowds. Also, in 1981, Haro was involved in the Steven Spielberg production of E.T. the Extra-Terrestrial as a stunt rider. In 1981 Bob Haro designed the first frame and fork tailored to freestyle BMX. The frameset was manufactured by the bicycle company Torker and became commercially available in 1982 and was marketed as the Haro Freestyler. He stopped riding in 1985 after four knee surgeries and, in 1987, he was inducted into the American Bicycle Association Hall Of Fame. In 1993 he founded his own company, Haro Design, Inc., a design and marketing company in Cardiff, CA. Bob Haro also invented the style of Flatland BMX. In 2012, as part of the London Olympic Games, Bob Haro choreographed the Dove bike sequence in the Opening ceremony.

Tricks 

Tricks are the stunts that make bikers (motocross riders in English), "riders" or pilots in the air.

There are a variety of tricks that can be performed either in the air or on the plane, plus all the combinations and lines that can be made from other tricks. The best known are:

Bunny Hop: BMX basic jump, so this raises the handlebars and then pushed forward while collecting their feet to stop the bike up.
Nollie Hop is to make the Bunny Hop but inverted (raising the rear and push back).
Barspin: as its name (in English) suggests is both hands on the handlebar and rotate in the air to grab it back into its natural position.
Fakie: is to move in the opposite direction to the natural cycle, ie backwards, but pedaling to keep this to slow.
Rollback: is to make a 180 º pivoting on the rear wheel to leave the fakie.
Slide: This is rotated 180 ° but dragging both wheels to exit the fakie.
180: is to make a 180 ° lifting both wheels off the ground, after which we will continue to fakie.
360: It consists in a rotation of 360 ° in the air
Manual: to balance keeping the front wheel high, for this is thrown his weight back and raises the handlebars.
Nose Manual: balance maintaining high rear tire is the inverse of the Manual.
Wallride: is to do a Bunnyhop and remain in a horizontal position so that the two wheels remain on the wall and thus achieve a small cross section of the wall.
Footplant: is to get a foot in the BMX to support the floor or elsewhere (Funbox, Pipe ...) and so push up and achieve a leap.
Handplant: Like Footplant but that is to do with your hand to push off the wall, copin, subbox or other high place.
Tailwhip, consisting turn completely to the frame (or frame) of the bicycle on the steering shaft.
Decade, do a barspin but the "rider" to move with the handlebars without releasing it.
No-hander, who sewed the hands off the handlebars.
No-footer: is drop a foot or two of the pedals.
Superman is drop foot pedals so that emulating stretch 'superman'.
Footjam Tailwhip, which involves rotating the box at ground level and then return to the pedals, putting his foot on the front tire to brake and move the box with the other foot.
X-up: that is to turn around the handlebars in the air.
