Title: Ron Wilkerson riding his Gen 1 Haro freestyler this morning
Post by: tricknuts on October 26, 2008, 07:28 PM
Ron turns up with this beauty that someone sent him in the post, so of course he had to don his old Haro jersey and take some shots.
Needless to say, despite the huge bars, he got some air.

Bill. yes.  It just turned up at the 2 Hip office in the mail....

Harris. i don't know about the Pork.

yeah it was good morning. All the old schoolers were all over that bike checking it out. A little lad of about 7 had no idea what all the fuss was about. I told him that this bike was designed by the father of freestyle...
He replied You mean Ryan Nyquist?

awesome to see those shots of ron. 
after riding a modern bmx riding that gen 1 set up as it was would be well weird as they seem so flimsy and wobbly. (i know,  i tried riding my 86 master i build up this summer- how did we ride these?)
respect to ron for having fun and taking part in these shots. and to still fit in his old jersey. i'm sure many wouldn't.

I know.  My sport feels horrible. Its really wobbly.
The bars on that gen 1 felt huge compared to new school bars, but he just dropped in and immediately got air on it.. and it wasn't a small tranny either. its at least 10ft with a good foot of vert.

Great entertainment for a Sunday morning..
