My 3 year old boy is getting this in a week. I'm poor as FUG but I cut down on smoking and boozing to save for him. Sweet, sweet Haro...

EDIT: Spelled the second sweet as swwet. Carry on :LolLolLolLol: Also, I'm going with the charcoal color because my Heist is grey.

cool, my lads got an ealier version, spec is probably better than some of the stuff we rode in the 80s......
-
Great little bike and good on ya for sacrificing some stuff so he can get it. I am getting my little boy a GT Mach One Jnr this week.
-
He'll be well stoked with that :daumenhoch: Been looking for a 16" wheeler for my Daughter, that Haro's another One to add to the "maybe" list!
-
K, forget that cuz it never happened. Decided to go with a 2008 Hoffman Scarab (army green). Only Hoffman can deliver top quality. L'il Alex is gonna be stoked on Christmas.

Good for you mate!
I had to do with a $hitty Puch Invader made from depleted uranium tubes and cast iron rims when I was a nipper...your kid will be so proud of you and chuffed to bits!
Happy Christmas to you and your family Guilotte!

he's a lucky boy.
nice work dude :daumenhoch:

Nice one Greg, must be so special giving your kid his first bmx. :daumenhoch:

Hey Greg, hope you and your son have a great christmas mate.
Ive got my son an SE "lil ripper", cant wait to see his face as its a complete suprise. (and its baby blue like my floval)
He asked for a scalextric set, but i want him to be active not sitting indoors playing games etc.
So this coming year we are going to be doing a lot of riding together. :daumenhoch:
-
We bought our son (6) a Mongoose Pit Crew, which is a 16", earlier this year, and although he has ridden it a few times he's had to go back to his non-bmx for a bit as the thing is just so damn heavy for him.
Plus the cranks are almost full size....so that when sitting and pedalling his knees are up near his ears. I know bmxers dont usually use the seat, but he's not very good at standing and pedalling yet.
I was gutted as you can imagine!!
Hopefully next year he'll be ok on it.

Thx for X-mas wishes and YES, I cannot wait to give this to Alex Christmas morning. Got the bike yesterday but they accidentally sent an 18 inch front wheel. Getting the new wheel tomorrow. One day shipping FTW! I'll take pics and see if we can get a Christmas thread going =). I'll take more pics in a few months when Alex is doing nothing tailwhip frontflips. At the age of 4. ;D
Seriously though, hope everyone is well and you all enjoy a most excellent holiday season.

Thats exactly why i decided to get the "lil ripper", i figured it being an ali frame would make it easier for him to get to grips with. It weighs 20lb all in :daumenhoch:
I know its really a race bike, but whats stopping him from riding park on it? It didnt stop us when thats all we had. ;)
