Author Topic: The Rise of BMX Freestyle - My book coming soon (Read 1050 times)

PHIPPSIO · « **on:** March 26, 2013, 02:55 PM »

Guys, I know I may have already started a thread about this but I couldnt find it.

Just to let you know that the book I wrote for Haro Bikes last year will be released in a few weeks. There will be a pre order on the Haro bikes website by the end of the week hopefully and it may be that I will be distributing it in Europe and the UK. The book is around 144 pages in hardback and will come in a nice box (you know we love a box!). Lots of unseen pictures and some nice behind the scenes facts and tales. I'm proud of it and I think it will be an entertaining read.

The book is volume one covering the years 1978 to 1986 and I begin work on the next volume in a week or two.

Here are a few shots and thanks for your support.

Is there going to be an e-book version?

An update and a couple of pictures of the proofing process from last week.

I am hoping to have the ordering page up on the Haro Bikes history website this week and some press. I'm also looking at the best means of getting these dispatched within the UK and Europe, It may be me doing that. Ill update again for those interested. Thanks for the support.
