Title: Some interesting finds in my parents loft
Post by: laidback on November 04, 2013, 11:28 PM

Evening guys, I was having a look through some boxes in my parents loft this evening, and came across these little beauties, Dated from 1983-1986.

I used to read them cover to cover, dreaming of owning A Haro, GT or Torker  8)  I have memories of reading up on trick techniques (only basic ones) and spending days and days practising them (and i'm still rubbish :LolLolLolLol:)

I also found this 1997 Haro catalogue i picked up when i was on holiday in Denver as a teenager:

I think I know where Haro got the Double Platinum inspiration from!
