- Before he was Haro's brand manager, John Buultjens had one of the nicest collections of Haro bikes from the Bob Haro era of the company. Here's a look at that collection.

This collection started when I wanted to bring my old ridable Haro's back to life. Then the obsession started. 18 years later and I am still collecting. My mission is to have every pro model Haro ever made then have them on display here at Haro HQ.
Awesome man, I remember all those bikes, much love, I wonder how the collection is today.
I too came out of a lot of hell. My life’s been turned around also like you. But I’m glad you’re doing so well.like you said we are not victims but we are survivors.
@@villarrealmarta6103 And we will inspire so many more!
Would love to see a video like this on all your Retro Haro's.
Very cool bikes, just ask me! Check out my 1996 Group 1 Ti on my channel, about to restore it.
Thanks for sharing that awesome collection. I'm 44 and still have my original 1993 Haro Master and still riding it.
The beauty of those Bmx,masterpieces on wheels.
Epic display of bmx's. 1 of the best collections ever seen. Really takes me back to my childhood. Such wonderful memories indeed 🤗
Gosh this bring back so many memories. I went from a Predator to Haro to Hutch Trix Star to a Redline RL22. LOL Have not thought about that in YEARS!!!! lol.
Awesome, I had an '88 blue and black Sport just like yours I'm still riding too bro
WOW! What a blast from the past . Thanks 😊
Awesome collection! Thanks for sharing it. I remember ordering my original Haro Freestyler F&F back in 1982. I was so excited that a freestyle specific F&F was coming out that I just couldn't wait to own one. Rode the heck out if it, then got the next year's version after cracking the frame. So, I am personally responsible for destroying both of my original Haros through my riding. I still have my 1992 Master in the condition it was in as my main rider before I treated myself to a new bike. It still has most of the original parts, plus Perigrine HP 48's Super Pro wheels and tires. It was also ridden hard for many years and I simply retired it. It is now something that I simply enjoy seeing every day as I grab my mid school Redline twin top tube FS 880 to ride. Anyway, thanks for sharing your collection.
Wow, I am in awe. Amazing collection! Worth a fortune. Hopefully you will keep these gems. :)
Love your story. I had the same love affair with dyno and gt bikes in the early 90's. I know what you feel when it comes to loving and restoring bikes like this. I just finished one 91 compe and I'm starting another.
gt and dyno werre shit ass gay bikes. Haro was number 1, it killed gt and dyno.
I have a haro sport and master and neither rides like my performer. The compe's I own are sentimental and ride well. I get that you have an opinion, which I respect, however, I don't see the reason to shit on my opinion.
TheSnareguitar Well seeing that Haro made their bikes with the best designs that changed every year, the best graphics and tech innovations, I'd say gt and dyno the were ugliest pieces of shit bikes. They lacked innovation whose designs stayed the same for years.These are facts not opinion. You do the math.
@@davidxrod that's bullshit bro!! Don't have to be a prick about it!!! I had a teal or aqua 88 HARO Master which I slept with, that's how much I fucking loved it!! But in 91 I got myself a DYNO Compe and to be honest it helped me improve on my tricks. GTs and DYNOs may not be as good looking, but have the perfect dimensions for control. I still kept my HARO though, it was just an obsession!!!
Wow this is amazing! Brings back memories!!! I remember seeing a kid in my area with an original 1982-83 Haro Freestyler with the Haro Vector bars back around '82-'83. I was 12-13 at the time. I bought a teal/turquoise color 1988 Sport with Kneesaver bars. I bought the bike brand new, all stock in 1988 and then changed the rear hub to an ACS Freetrack hub. It was such a great bike. It got stolen in 1994. I wish I still had it.
Amazing collection, many of my favorite bikes in there and many that i owned back in the day. well done John.
Yeah for real!
Such a sick collection of bikes.. the Haro Airmaster is jaw dropping!!!
I was so stoked when I got my first Master...what a trip down bmx memory lane.

This vid popped up on my time line this week as I’ve been watching oldschool bmx stuff.....I never had a Haro back in the day I had a GT pro performer.....my next door neighbour had a Haro sport which was cool in white.....I wish I could get my hands on that green one with white skyways....soooooo cool looking!
Sick collection mate. Ahhh so many memories.
Bloody awesome !!!!!!!God bless you !!!!!!!
Much respect from the San Diego BMX crew and Team Torker 🤟🤟🤟
Had the 87 Haro Sport great gift from Santa that year👍🏻👍🏻
Ridiculously cool collection! I had a chrome 84 Master Freestyler with lime green Tuffy 2's. Was my pride and joy til i got my first car and into street skating. Wish i had the bike, boards and my first car!!
Amazing , I just did the pre-order for the 2019 master today , can't wait , had to add it to the collection , I still have my original 1989 , along with a couple other masters . John your the best !
I had a 1987 and as much as it hurt, I let it go to a kid who never had a bike of his own, I grew up poor ,soo I understood what happiness came from owning my first bike,mine was a bike I put together from scraps,his was a HARO😉 pure HAPPINESS!!!!
Super collection unreal ! I had the 84 Freestyler. So happy to see it again. thx
Man i had so many BMX bikes back in the late 80s early 90s as a child lol
hey john i remember riding knox bowl with you mid 90 s, amazing collection way to go
Are you serious!!?? Are you talking Knox in Melbourne!!?? If true, I grew up just up the road from there, and went to the same bowls in the 90s. Small world!!
Awesome collection simply awesome i have a 1985 diamond back mike daminguez and a 1989 GT machone that i just started on a collection of my own
Insane collection! Big fan of Haro and John Buultgens! As you can tell. Ha ha
Beautiful collection ...I had as a kid the Haro sport
hey there....commenting from Massachusetts, USA. happened to go down memory lane and found this video. I absolutely loved it. I'm a 70's kid and like u did save up my $ to buy some of my fav Haro bikes. I completely understand your 'obsession' (just no way I could get away with that at MY house...ha ha!) More power to ya sir :-)
AWESOME BIKES. WE LOVE IT !! THANKS FOR SHARING THIS VIDEO..👏👏
A trip down memory lane! I was a GT racer and my brother a GT freestyler but I also highly coveted those beautiful Haros. Only Haro thing owned was/is my Haro number plate. My only remaining ride of that era is my mint 1986 GT Mach 1 race bike with period GT race jersey.
Sick collection sir 👍👍
Yeah it was my kid dream to own one, a friend of mine had one and he was really good on it too at that time. Beautiful bikes and beautiful childhood memories. I sure miss the 80's!
Nice collection brother! It all started with me also with the Haro Sport!
That was my first bike as well! Wish that I still had it. HARO sport.
Wow!! Remember the HARO Invert and the HARO FST!!?? That's where it all started for me!!
The Hutch Trickstar was the bike I never had but always wanted esp the red with white decals ....I was the kid that had to build my ride out of the stuff my rich friends were no longer interested. I scored a Haro Sport for a skate board trade back in the early 90's that was cool. It brings back memories for sure and I out road all the town esp flatland on my mongoose bmx which I turned into a freestyle bike....
My friends would get so freaking mad cause they had $300 new bikes and thought owning it would make them ride better 😂 Man things have changed and these kids today don't know how awesome they have it. ESP with parks in every town but its very cool seeing the sport become so common now.
Sick collection just one of those would be cool to own.
U just made a 50 year old very happy
My best years right here 👍
The old bikes just look the best 🤟
Lush man, I’m well jealous. Especially of the 83-87 era stuff.
Wow...just wow. That is a lot of freestyle history right there...SOOOO jealous lol! Beautiful collection, my friend. I hope that you have those puppies insured...they're irreplaceable! Thank you for sharing them with us! 👍👍
Wish I kept my late 80s Haro Master
Could buy a car with it
Impressive collection Thanks for sharing
imagine the joy of standing with all those vintage bikes all around you..
Keep the bashguard ones, I'll take anything before that! Thanks x
Nice collection great job. I hope you still keep adding to it.
Beautiful collection 😍
I just got my first mid school Haro. Now I want to learn everything about them. Amazing collection. Wish the vid was longer and you showcased more of the bikes.
amazing collection. Wish I had just 'one' of those awesome haro bikes. Growing up, I always wanted one but lived in Arkansas where people didn't even know who Bob Haro was. :-(
Wow that collection is insane man. That brings back wonderful memories. I'm sure we all wished we would've kept our BMX bikes if we didn't hahahahahahaha.
Back in the 80's I had the green 1985 Haro Master bike with Redline 180-mm chrome sealed-BB 3-piece 401 flight cranks on it.
I only ever had 1 piece cranks. Redlines were a dream back then.
Lucky bastard!!!
I so wanted the Haro freestyler back in the 80s. Raleigh Burner second hand, nicked out of someone's shed was my bike. Bloody loved it though.
Awesome collection! I rode Haro's and SE's in the early to mid 80's ... I have friends in Australia that skate at The Shed.
I still have the torker I rode as a kid in the 90's. Most kids didn't know what it was. Cool collection
Super awesome. Great history. Love all of them.
great collection thanks for sharing
Holy crap great collection!!! I'm working on a diamond back collection myself . 🐍
Diamond back used to be good now theyre crap
@@nickonickster1 I know it that's why my collection consists of 80's - mid 90's exclusively!
Man do a video on that.
Such an awesome collection, I still have my 1987 Haro FSX
Still on my sport. I picked it up used from a older friend who made me a good deal back in 1990 for my 10th birthday. lol I'm old but still have fun on it, riding with my kids. I never realized it until I saw this video that they made two different sport modles. Mine was the freestyle one with the fold-down front pegs and the 990 brakes on the bottom instead of the top. The funny thing is I still have all the parts such as the front forks, gyro, the plastic rims that mine came with and the crank. but I switched it over more like the race Haro Sport that was first talked about in this video. Basically stripped everything heavy off of it to make a BMX race bike instead of freestyle back in 2099. I think it would be fun to have it rechromed and built with modern parts from Haro today in 2017. Anyhow thanks for the video and the insight on some of the different bikes and history of Haro. Hope you still have the collection, because it's freaking awesome. I wish I still had some of that other bikes that I went through from back then. Such as my S&M homes, power light, elf and Robinson.
Beautiful collection brother keep up the good work
It`s pretty amazing the fact Bob started his company on his kitchen stove,shaping number plates and personally selling them at weekly race events...nice collection btw
Awesome collection 👍👍
I still have my dads bob haro nameplate from when he raced . Cool stuff
Wow. What a dream collection!! Awesome
wow!! thousands of dollars right there...awesome collection. i always wanted a haro team master when i was a kid.
@Laserlite 3000 i was looking on ebay at mid 80s GT performer frames were going for 500-700$ with chipped paint and in rough shape....with i kept all my old stuff lol
@Laserlite 3000 nice...never get rid of that ..
Haro Freestyler 1982 was my dream bike in the 80s. We were poor in the ghetto in Chicago. I had a Huffy Thunder Trail. Lol. 😂
Next in line was a Hutch freestyle and then PK Ripper.
Maybe one day I’ll buy all 3.
When Bob and RL showed up at the Nationals in 81 they blew our minds. And thank God for the Torker!
in 1985 I went to a see the DanUp (Dannon Yogurt Drink) freestyle show at King of Prussia Mall in Pennsylvania, my mom drove me.. I was so busy taking pictures I didn't realize they were handing out raffle ticket...but my Mom did. she grabbed a few FREE raffle tickets. I ended up winning a Neon Green Haro Sport !! that was my ride for my freestyle days..I can still remember doing whatever it took to get that bike into my Mom's Ford Tempo to get it home... THANKS MOM !!!!
Good collection! 🤙🤟✌️👏👏👏👏👏🚴 Congratulations!
Great bikes. *I really love how some of those Sports have that very unique frame design... especially since these days all of these newer companies ALL look the same, and I've honestly never even heard of them before, so I recently went with the 2018 Haro Master Lineage and it's well worth it - an amazing machine!. - * I remember a friend had a CW Racing bike with that Insane "Lightening-Bolt" shaped frame, I love unique artistic frames. ***That ZOLATONE Master is Totally SICK!
I remember some of the bikes, Had haro as well :) old days........
Awesome collection man. I remember seeing the Haro Master for the first time as a kid, it looked like art. You just had to have one if your were riding street back then. If I'm not mistaken they were selling $400-$600 bucks.
Heya! Thanks so much for this was amazing. Truly inspiring. I had to have that green one back then, when I got some insurance money from surviving a car accident. It was the best year or so of my life, riding everywhere, widening the scope of my surroundings. Then a "friend" broke into my house and stole it along with my dad's coin collection. I've always felt you have to let go of things but also, for years my mind keeps on going back to this. Because of your video I might start the scavenger hunt to piece together something. Oh, and your video looks cool as shit!
Nice collection. My favs
Boss xl's, hutch xl's araya 1.50's, redline 180mm 3 piece cranks... Still have a pair on my shelf. Bottom line, get on the ride, and i had a chrome group 1c I worked for. Proud of that bike.
Totally awesome, some of this models were “the very first” bike of some X-gamers today. Haro bikes are the Ibanez to the mases, well done with great components and correct priced, from Hoffman to Mirra, Nyquist and some modern ones. 👋🏽🙂🇻🇪
incredible collection !
Wowwww,pretty impressive,unbelievable..!
Badass collection!!
I swear ......I can smell the 1988 air when I watched this video. Thx
What a collection!
Beautiful collection.
nice job buddy , nice collection
For me the Neon green Haro master from 1984 1985 is the most beautifull Freestyler ever made
i love your collection
That was awesome!
looking at this in 2022 it looks just as outstanding. I rode all the time as a kid but i always had Huffy's lol..to me there isn't anything cooler than the old-mid school Haro bikes, to have them all well that's just icing on the cake. Someone would be lucky to own one of these bikes in this condition. Updates?
the sport and the master were so solid in 87-88 - the bikes could take a slamming. they always felt amazing. the ultimate freestyle bike. period.
We old-school BMX'ers are a special breed..
