Bont Hyper World Team - the Italians!

[Kathie Fry]

Bont and Hyper are teaming up in 2007 to sponsor a world team that will include Italian greats Massimilano Presti, his brother Luca Presti, Francesco Zangarini and Luca Saggiarato. For more information see the official Bont announcement (http://p196.ezboard.com/fbontskatesfrm2.showMessage?topicID=2678.topic) in the Bont Forum.

Hmmm...along with an announcment that Bont will not be introducing the next gen 'Wavvy' line of wheels -> Backdoor deals???....formiddable super power of skating??

I doubt there was anything back-door. I think Bont made an honest try with the Wavy's, but it just didn't work. At the same time, Bont wanted a shared sponsorship for bang for the buck reasons. Hyper, meanwhile, needed to get back up to speed (pun intended) at the same time. So it just worked out for both.
