Jared Garcia To Fly With Hyper in 2012

Jerry Bradford sent along some scoop that the hefty Hyper Factory Team seems complete with the pickup of Jared “The Jet” Garcia from Victorville, CA. No pro flow for The Jet in the new year, as he fires up the burners for a run at the ABA National Number One Title, via the 19-27x Class.

So, the final seating arrangement under the Hyper Factory Team Tent for 2012 is as follows:

Elite Men – Donny Robinson
41-45C – Jud Ciancio
38X – John Paul Pfeiffer
19X – Jared Garcia
17X – Lain Van Ogle
16G – Shealen Reno
16X – Luke Roarty
14G – Kelsey Van Ogle
13X – Bubba Gonzales
10X – Patrick Coo
9X – Kohl Piluso
8X – Pete Choat

Hyper’s dR Bike Commercial Takes The Stage on Walmart.com

If you were at ABA’s Gator Nationals in Oldsmar, and hung around after Saturday’s race, you were able to watch the film crew do their thing with the Hyper dR replica being sold at Walmart, and on walmart.com. Donny, himself was in the house to do the riding, and a few other riders have brief cameo appearances (a quickie of Nic Long (or was that Nikki Short?) and Connor Fields), as well as a fist-bump with dR and a presumed rookie, mounted on the scoot, decked head to toe in Fly gear.

The 30-second spot is currently available on Walmart.com as a “video demo,” and can be viewed at the link below:

Watch the Hyper dR Replica Commercial

Another interesting tidbit is that, in the commercial, we now see that the NBL is also involved in the 30-Day Free membership offering, and their logo is present in the intro and outro of the spot, as well as in the voiceover.

In reading the comments on the product detail page at the link above, we see that comments from people who have purchased the bike are unanimously favorable. If you have purchased one of the bikes, please make your positive comments known, as they definitely influence people pondering a “buy now” click.
