I havent seen it but a friend sent me a text about it. Here is what he said:
"Graphite Tuffs ... Haro Frame ... MX1000s ... Redline Flights ... 1978? DONFIKSO!"
The add also says:
"Know your History". What a joke
-
:) I`m with Alex on this one.What do you expect from Moore-Large-the company that brought us the shining jewel that was the Barracuda Mojo?
-
The same Barracuda designed by non other than Paul "Grotbags" Roberts!
-
:) Designed? He must have let one rip & it just flew out!

i think there trying to point out that the haro company is thirty years old , not that the bike was made in 78.

yeah yeah i know , i will have a word tomorrow. :-[

if your gonna spend money on ads then at least make em correct. (though i dont think a number plate instead of the haro freestyler would look too good either.)
should have put more thought into it. :idiot2:
-
i guess they probably didn't think that so many experts from that era would be reading it. i bet no new school kid would know any different.

could have started with a plate , then 82 a torker framed haro, and so on as a timeline to present day and in all fairness i dont work in the cycle division , and that picture is crap aswell which makes me think it was a rush job ,cause mr x knows im into bmx and could have asked for a photo.
-

Would any new school kid even care? If a company is older than a kid has been riding for, or old than the kid is, then its OLD. so what?
Im not sure who an add like that would be aimed at.
-
Perhaps they were just trying to do something that would appeal to the growing old school scene, and although it might not be quite right, perhaps we shouldn`t be so hard on them :police:

f@ck em...its shit

Sitting on the fence as normal ;D

all of the above was pointed out to them before the ad was even placed...... also bear in mind it isn't essentially a direct Haro ad, its a distrobutor ad.
The whole concept of the 30 year history thing is a great idea but like I told young Adam when he asked for a gen1 pic "i think you'll find thats 82 mate, hence 30yrs would actually be 2012, you should go with a plate & some stickers..."
-
you should go with a plate & some stickers..."
They should put a plate on a New School bike, and put "30 years of number plates" :LolLolLolLol:
-
Even the original pic http://www.jtfreestyle.com/media/picts/Bikes/1983%20BMX%20PLUS%20BOB%20HARO%20Cover%20bike%20JTFreestyle2.jpg (http://www.jtfreestyle.com/media/picts/Bikes/1983%20BMX%20PLUS%20BOB%20HARO%20Cover%20bike%20JTFreestyle2.jpg)
here, says it's based on the BMX Plus cover from 83.
-
they are trying & with guidance, advice & critism can only improve
-
well the ad was done in 2 hours to deadline, and pic came from haro , and they signed it off. so stop being anal you bmx nerds :LolLolLolLol:
-
i wasnt moaning about the year not being correct, i just thought how the pic is in ad looks like its been done on a shitty old computer from years ago.
-
so stop being anal you bmx nerds :LolLolLolLol:
KNOW YOUR HISTORY
says it all really, maybe they should have been more anal
-
i burst out laughing when i saw that ad.
its almost as bad as the sunday ads, or that mirraco ad on the back of dig, 'rob wise 180' and he only does a 90'.
printing 'know your history' is a serious joke when whoever designed the ad is lacking in knowledge. and thats before i mention the low reZZ scan.
-
You make the statement 'know your history' when you dont know it yourself. Very poor IMO.
-
What is the month of the mag this is in? Who is the distributor and is there any contact information for them?
Cheers
