Bob Haro is the Father of Freestyle BMX and the founder of Haro Bikes and Harodesign. Bob grew up in Southern California riding motocross and skateboarding. When he ran out of money to continue racing dirt bikes he turned to BMX. Drawing was Bob's first passion and started illustrating for BMX magazines and brands. He became the staff artists for BMX Action Magazine. At 18 he started his own business, manufacturing BMX Plates and selling tens of thousands in the process.
Bob Haro, the godfather of BMX Freestyle has started a new bag company. The legend who shaped the Haro BMX brand in the early '80-s has a new venture going: "I'm proud to introduce to you my new line of sports, leisure and travel bags under the Performance Branding moniker. Over the years, I have designed various products for leading brands which included bags, and I wanted to get back in the mix with this new collection."
