We saw Donny riding through the parking lot on Friday afternoon in Guthrie. He had just finished the first in a series of talks at middle schools as part of the Donny Robinson “In Motion” Mentoring Program. We had been aware of the program, and the visit, by keeping up with Donny’s Twitter updates. Yess is bringing the above expert fork to market, and is currently working to make some design refinements to the traditional Yess Pro-Sized fork. Shown in Expert size on the demo bike of Justin Hailey, the expert Yess fork is made of 7005 aluminum, weighs 410 grams and will retail for under $150. Stock finishes will be matte black and gloss white, but as noted above in-house powder coating allows Yess to do custom frame-fork color pairings.

All the freestyle goodies popular with that crowd, as well as the Elite hubs and classic Profile chromo cranks that racers of all ages put on their Santa list. While still hangin with Bill, we got some skinny on the weight-loss plan the 2012 Envy will be showin when it hits the track soon. Envy will stay at $499 for anodized colors and $549 for the mirror-polish (sunglasses not included).

As acknowledged by Judges Young and Woodlock, however, in Reddy and DePaoli, it would be well within the Court’s discretion to provide some verbal construction at a reduced level of detail than that proposed by defendant. In analyzing a patent infringement action, the Court must 1) determine the meaning and scope of the patent claims asserted to be infringed and 2) compare the properly construed claims to the infringing device. Markman v. Westview Instruments, Inc., 52 F.3d 967, 976 (Fed. Cir. 1995) (en banc), aff’d, 517 U.S. 370, 116 S.Ct. The first step, known as claim construction, is an issue of law for the court to decide. Having said that, the Hyper Bikes that we are discussing may not necessarily be built by hyper bicycles though.

The 32 years old brand is mainly known for the production of components, high-end competitive BMX frames. The founder, Clay Goldsmid, was himself a former BMX pro. After a great success in the BMX field and a first convincing experience in the mass market bike industry. The brand decided to enter the world of mountain biking with one of their first sponsored athletes during the BMX era, Eric Carter, who had converted to mountain biking after a successful BMX career. We have over a decade’s experience designing and building carbon fiber race bikes.

They will offer a menu of sizes to suit all comers, with a 170, 172.5, 175, 177.5, 180 and a 182.5mm. Price point is still being penciled out, but look for it to be “sub-$400.” Finishes available will be black and white from the get-go. And while no official word is yet out on where that next chapter will take dR, word around Northern California, and in the Facebook universe has reports of Donny on a new bike already. Whether that is just a hook-up for something new to ride, or a prelude to news to be released in coming days will be keeping us close to the BMX News ticker tape. With the season opener 21 days away, it’s likely we will know sooner rather than later. I rode for Hyper as an amateur back in 1994, and returning to the team in 2007 was like a homecoming.

There are many brands like Schwinn and Liv, which manufacture hyper bikes. Just like the other bikes in Liv’s hybrid range, the Alight 2 disc features an ALUXX aluminum frame, which is Giant’s… In the intervening years Hyper has maintained its position as a leader in BMX, with a full line of products for racing and freestyle Riders. Hyper has also continued its commitment to the sport by sponsoring Riders, Teams, Events and Series. It became obvious that if Hyper was to grow and prosper new opportunities would need to be explored.

It’s been floating around on some of the forums (including here on the BMX News forum) for a week or two, but now it’s official and we have the photos to prove it. Lain and Kelsey van Ogle have joined Jerry Bradford’s Hyper Factory Team. But today, one of the rumors that was sort of “out there” for the past month or so was confirmed, when Hyper Bicycles announced they had parted ways with Donny Robinson. Not long after the Grands, we started hearing that there would be some sponsor changes coming to the pro ranks, as contracts intended to encompass the 2012 Olympics came to an end.

John and Ryan are bringing Strength back to life for 2012, via an innovative frame constructed out of magnesium. You old schoolers will remember that magnesium has been used a few times in BMX racing’s history–most famously in the breakthrough Mongoose Motomags of the 1970s and 80s. John Sawyer and Ryan Birk welcomed customers and media into a private hospitality suite, where their plans for 2012 were discussed openly and freely, and with a “this is gonna be AWESOME” kind of hyper bicycles energy. It’s remarkable that, only 12 months ago, a chance meeting on the way out of the show was what brought John into the then-ailing Answer BMX picture as its new owner. Barely 365 days later, it could not be a more different situation, and THAT is one of the wonders of the face-to-face business that is done at conferences like Interbike. Notwithstanding the seemingly-valid argument on seeing the new products via Skype, that last point should not be minimized in any way.

Our relationship produced an Olympic Bronze Medal, a World Championship title, as well as a BMX-Racing-specific bicycle in Walmart. Although Hyper’s focus may be changing, I am indebted to them for the opportunities they allowed for me. I look forward to what this next chapter in my racing career will bring. Resting on Reddy and DePaoli, plaintiff requests that the Court reject defendant’s proposed construction and reserve any issues of functionality for a later time. Come ride time, the 20-inch wheels with the 1.5” tires bring comfort and stability that are generally not the USP of folding bikes.
