A lot of riders used DPs and similar bikes - I don't remember seeing many kids on genuine Haros anyway.

looks like a dp with the plate around the seat post, but then look closer at the rear drops outs, 2 holes so unless some ones had the drill out dont think this is a firebird. :-\

Spot on ^^^, welds look good but it's a frame styled like a Haro nut not even a close copy but it all looks good to me and would make a nice budget freestyle build :daumenhoch:

strangely the decals look original. Noone has managed to replicate that rich green colour recently. Not a Haro though...
