Nice collection of artists with this HARO racing plate thing-NOT.. They didnt try to hard to find talent or do press.. Does Bob Haro even know about this?

It seems like most large companies seem to have a good idea in mind, or someone on there side is looking out for the little guy. But as soon as these major corporations start getting involved things start getting fishy… for example: http://www.pdxbmx.com/2008/03/fuck-dc-shoes-b.html.
I know this is the second time posting this, but I feel this should be brought to light more, even though it is old news. Be careful what cooks you let in your kitchens.

The two funniest comments from above:

“The Olympics should never go ahead in a ridiculous country like China…”

“…Vans and Etnies, who have supported BMX and are not only in it for the money.”

Nike is the main sponsor and supporter of our US Olympic Team. They are putting a lot of effort out to show case one guy’s art, Bob Haro. The 6.n0 program is absolutely terrible, but I have no issues with Nike as a whole. Well other than they need to actually get a hold of some new forward thinking designers.

“shane” pop art? Bob was doing it before most people in BMX knew what a bike was, and now most people are biting him.

Nicely said Taylor.

When kids realize that riding in basketball shoes isn’t cool, Nike will go away.

I agree with the above replies. Hasn’t Nike already gone down this road and high tailed it back out on multiple occasions? Annual cost-benefit analysis’s of investing into bmx does not constitute actual caring or believing about the last 30 odd years of bmx history.

basically what I’m trying to say is fuck Nike.
