Hannah Roberts On Hyper and Snafu

October 26, 2019

Here’s some sponsor news for you! Hannah Roberts is now doing it for Hyper and Snafu! As many of you know, Hannah has been dominating Women’s BMX contests all over the world and pretty much always lands on the podium at every contest she is riding in and fully healthy, so it makes a ton of sense for her to be getting this deal with Hyper and Snafu since their teams are stacked with some of the top contest riders in the world. Expect to see Hannah crushing it well into the future! Check out her Instagram post below bringing the news!

“It’s Official, Hannah Roberts is now part of the Hyper Family!

All of the guys were stoked to welcome her to the team and we decided to make this video up while everyone was out in China! She ended up winning the FISE Championships, FISE World Cup Series and Best Trick last weekend. UCI BMX FREESTYLE CHAMPIONSHIPS ARE UP NEXT!

Congrats Hannah!” – Hyper

Hyper X Snafu – Ryan Williams Video

April 11, 2017

Ryan Williams coming through with a fresh video for Hyper and Snafu for your viewing pleasure. In the past, we’ve always seen Ryan mix things up with a bike during Nitro Circus shows or a video related to that, but this is the first legit BMX edit (with a touch of scootering mixed in) that we can recall. I guess this is technically his “welcome to the team” video, even though he’s been riding for Hyper and Snafu for about a year now. Either way, it’s pretty amazing how good Ryan is on a bike and this video does not disappoint! Take a peek!

“What can you say about Ryan Williams (R Willy) This crazy kid joined the circus. He is full time athlete for Nirto Circus. He travels this planet performing worlds first on a nightly basis. Comment below if he’s ever performed in your hometown we would love to hear your story. In between two of his shows I got to catch up with him in his hometown of Australia. Caloundra skatepark is one of Australia’s most well known parks for its massive Blue shade cloths at the local swimming pool and famous snack shop. Ryan has grown up at this park and has every line dialed on anything you stick under his feet. Skate boards, scooters or bikes and it’s very cliché but he does it all he is a freak, that’s why he joined the circus.
We are so happy to have him apart of the Hyper / Snafu family.”

Snafu – Scotty Cranmer Signature Jackson Sprocket

February 15, 2017

Take a look at the new Jackson sprocket from Snafu.

Here’s something for the Scotty Cranmer and / or the Oil Slick lovers out there. Here’s a look at Scotty’s brand new signature Jackson sprocket from Snafu. This BMX Sprocket is CNC machined from 7075 aluminum with a solid front with a laser etched Snafu logo. On the back, you can find additional machining to help reduce the overall weight, without sacrificing strength. The sprocket has 1/8″ teeth, a 5.5mm thickness and comes with a 15/16″ bore with 19mm and 22mm adaptors included. This sprocket is spline drive ONLY, there are no holes to bolt the sprocket to your cranks.

The Scotty Cranmer signature Jackson Sprocket from Snafu is available in 28-tooth only, Jet Fuel for the color, a weight of 2.6 oz. and a $49.99 price tag. This sprocket is available through BMX shops and mail-orders that carry Snafu worldwide now.

Above and below are two screenshots of Scotty’s sprocket that we grabbed off Ryan Guettler’s new video from a trip to New Jersey to visit Scotty. You can check out the video below and learn more about the sprocket from Scotty himself!

Scotty talks about his new signature sprocket at about the 3:12 mark.

“I went to New Jersey last Friday to catch up with Scotty Cranmer, got some rad interviews and built up a new hyper wizard for when he is 100% back on his feet again which could be any day.
He is recovering so quickly and has a lot of amazing support around him.
I made this video for hyper but I have a small CH so I didn’t want you fans to miss this video in any way, Click now and enjoy.” – Ryan Guettler

Scotty Cranmer – Building Up My New Hyper Wizard Frame

April 26, 2016

It’s time for Scotty Cranmer to build up a new bike again! Check out this video where Scotty takes you through the process of building up his new Hyper Bicycles Wizard setup with plenty of entertainment from the rest of the guys throughout. Looks like a dialed BMX bike to us!

“Being sponsored is awesome! Every kid out there has a dream of someday becoming sponsored rider and let me tell you how amazing it really is to have 2 of the best brands in BMX behind me like Hyper Bicycles and SNAFU BMX! In this video I take a trip in my STI to pick up some new parts to build up a spare bike for XGames! I then take my parts to my Bike shop in Howell, NJ SC Bicycles to build up the new bike! Cory Berglar, Matty Cranmer, and The Big Boy meet me there to offer some help and some laughs! Hyper Bicycles was nice enough to give me a 20.4 Wizard frame to giveaway! So I have 4 questions about the channel for you guys to answer and then I will be picking a random winner from the people that answer correctly and I will reveal the winner on next monday’s Breakdown video.”

Ryan Guettler Leaves Colony and Joins Hyper / Snafu

September 6, 2014

ryan3

Here’s some news that left us saying “No way!” as soon as we saw it…. It turns out that after nearly 10 years on Colony, Ryan Guettler has decided to leave the team to pursue a spot on the team and be the brand manager for Hyper and Snafu that Matt Bischoff left open a little while back. This is definitely an unexpected move. Here’s some more about the news below…

“I didn’t think I would ever be writing this here but Ryan Guettler is no longer riding for Colony as of today.

He has decided to leave the team, to take a job as a brand manager / pro rider at Hyper & Snafu. I know Ryan has wanted a job within the industry for a while now & I personally wish him all the best in this new chapter in his life.

Ryan has been with Colony since our inception in 2005, he was the first rider I chose as a team rider back then. More importantly, I have known & ridden with Ryan since he was just 7 years old. It has been a fun ride the last 24 years & I am sure there will be many more sessions to come. I do thank you Ryan for your efforts with Colony over the years, it is appreciated. Let the good times roll ahead !! I wish you all the best mate!” – Clint Millar

“What ever I write will not show my appreciation and gratefulness I have for Clint Millar and the family I have over at Colony. All the road trips and good times with the team will be my memories for life. Nothing will change our friendship or the the way I think of the guys over at Colony but this next step is a must for me to take. My career is sunsetting and I’ve always wanted to learn the business side of things. I’ve been through all the ups and downs with in BMX over the past 20 years of my career, my knowledge will help Hyper and Snafu. This would not have been an option with out Clint guiding me along the way. He is a best friend and the god of front brakes, I wish Clint nothing but the best. To all the riders at Colony keep it rubber side down and I’ll miss you guys.” – Ryan Guettler
