Okay, this guy is on a mountain bike instead of a BMX bike, but who cares? Green is Good.

E.T. on a Kuwahara

Here is a sweet illustration that Bob Haro did way back in 1982 for BMX Plus magazine. Bob was also a featured stunt rider in the movie. He is the one who knocks off the police light as he is riding over the car. Unfortunately, Bob and the other riders were not credited for their work, since they were not SAG members.

Kuwahara E.T. Original Condition

Time to go way back in time, all the way back to 1982. When a short little alien with a glowing finger made Kuwahara a household word. Here is an original unrestored E.T. looptail. It appears to be a Model 3009, also known as the Replica model. It looks like it is in amazing shape, and even still has the original powder that covers the tires.

As listed on eBay. Offered at $6,000.00 starting bid. Item #270588717537

Woody Itson 1986 Hutch Ad

Back in the 80's it was okay to have a mustache and ride an all pink bike. Here is Woody Itson doing his best Magnum, P.I. impersonation, circa 1986. In the backseat of his Porsche is his trademark pink Hutch Trick Star.

Donna on a Haro Sport

Here is something you don't see every day. NBL Elite Pro and Miss Sarasota USA 2009, Donna Snow, standing next to a 1985 Haro Sport. Bike belongs to Greg Terzian who has restored it back to factory specs. Greg is also a talented photographer and took this picture of Donna and his Haro.

Here is Donna tearing up the track. She currently races for the BMX Mania Factory Team.

Team Haro Reunion Show


Back at BMX Worlds 2009 in Cologne, Germany, the original Team Haro reunited for the first time in decades. The whole gang was there, including riders: Mike Dominguez, Brian Blyther, Ron Wilkerson, Dave Nourie, and announcer Kevin Martin. Vert ramp legend Mat Hoffman and the man himself, Bob Haro, were also there.

What an amazing site to see a bunch of 40 year old guys kicking it old school on some rad vintage Haro's. There were some nice crashes, which makes you cringe when you think how rare and valuable those bikes are. How often do you get a chance to see all these legends in one place doing what they love? I guess some scratches and dings are definitely worth it.

Illustration by Bob Haro, 1984.

Bride on a P.K. Ripper - NSFW!


Not really sure what it is about a P.K. Ripper, but somehow it makes your top fall off. Just like it did for Karen Leah. For that very reason, I think that all guys should have a P.K. Ripper in their stable. You never know when that special lady friend is going to stop by and want to go for a ride. Just be sure to keep your Mom away from it, some things we don't need to see. Oh, the humanity!
