When I was the age of most of you kidlets, Bob Haro was on of the racers that everyone wanted to be like. So a jillion years later, when I got into BMX again, I went with Haro. Not that Bob has anything to do with the company, but their better bikes are still a decent value. At the time, I could have bought any bike I wanted, but I think from the choices I had in Australia, Haro was the all-around best one.

Too many kids these days worry about whether their bike is good enough, or has the right parts. I've seen people on the most ghetto bikes doing incredible things. It's like we say in the photography business - "It's not the tool, it's the fool".

That's my 2 cents.
