The Haro's are a little weighty imo i think they are a tiny bit shy of 30lbs

Better bet would be Gregs WTP, ridden one of those myself and it was very nice not sure of weight but i reckon its gotta be 24/25lbs as it was heavier than my KHE but lighter than my mates FELT and thats bang on 30lbs

Yeah dont like them WTP guys did nothing but fix my cousins when riding with him.......I kinda thought it would be a weight thing with them haro's saying that my Bro had a top end condor then heavy as and you should have seen the air he was getting on it though.............massive

I like them sunday fundays but cant afford one plus i dont see much 21 incher completes around

Really, my friend down the track outright abuses his wtp and apart from punctures and a couple of broken spokes its been all good, he's had it almost 12months now, which is pretty good for him

I ride the KHE and my lad rides the haro, the haro is a touch too lite for me and is very skippy on the back end through the rhythm section on the track

Good buy that fella, they are a nice ride, you've got a lot more for your cash buying that than buying new, let us know how you get on with the riding? At first it will feel odd and the bars will feel small, but once it clicks you'll love it. I love my two new school riders the KHE and the S&M so much fun to ride

Nah not really mate better in the 80s 5 foot airs then ...........had bad fall banged my leg up bad towards the end and it kinda blocked me made me very hesitant .....hope i can at least get out of a pipe again

I remember just getting back into it and i was on my old firebird in 2003-4 and straight way was getting a little air the little fellas at the skatepark were like wtf  :LolLolLolLol:

That first pic was my first time on a spine....they scared the crap outa me so i built one in my garden to get over the fear lmao

Anyways looking forward to riding again ....it should be good .......gonna built a halpipe in my garded too lol maybe a mini halpipe i dunno yet
