Nukeproof is excited to announce the signing of Aptos, California's dirt jump star Jack Fogelquist.

Jack will ride the Snap 4X Pro bike along with a Scalp DH, Mega all-mountain bike and, already in the prototype stages, a dirt jump frame and a well underway special slopestyle frame project. You can expect to see a sneak peak of Jack’s first proto slopestyle frame soon!

Nukeproof has supported Jack with components for a few years and we were keen to offer him a full factory ride; he loves to ride and is always trying hard to innovate and progress his riding.

On top of riding he’s an editing machine with his great Fogelsode series that is always a winner online. We are sure he’ll be a great ambassador for Nukeproof and are looking forward to helping him go all the way to the top.

bigquotesI'm super excited to be riding full Nukeproof this season! Nukeproof has grown a ton over the past couple years and I'm looking forward to representing them on this higher level. All of their components are top notch, so I know the frames will be nothing less! I'm stoked to be working with Nukeproof to develop a dirt jump and slopestyle specific frame is an incredible opportunity! Slopestyle is a unique type of riding, so having a bike that is designed purely for it will help a ton. I'm super excited with what we've come up with so far and can't wait to begin the prototyping phase! - Jack

Key events on Jack’s calendar for 2012 are:
Sea Otter Classic
Upside Down and Underground
Teva Games
Jump Ship
Crankworx Colorado
AT's Showdown

 he was already on nukeproof but also rode for banshee, so pretty much banshee dropped him and he started using nukeproof frames asswell as the parts, they should of made the title "banshee drops fogel". would of made more sence than saying fogel joins nukeproof family as he was already on the nukeproof family!

 @yeahbro i cant get over the athertons on GT because I cant picture them on any other bike but the commencal . idk just my opinion. and mike Hopkins is so underrated. all around gnarly rider . glad hes with a company that has his full support. still weird to see it tho.

 @Kona-kurt2-4 Banshee didn't drop Fogel, fools couldn't match all that goodness that Nukeproof was throwing his way. So unless actually know what you're talking about I suggest you shut your trap

 Banshee most definitely did NOT drop Fogel. It was time for Fogel to move on so with regret and after reviewing his offers he happily accepted a full ride from Nukeproof; and he's very happy with the decision. @Kona-kurt2-4, you don't have a clue what you're talking about.

 im not saying that nukeproof isnt sick, im just saying he was already riding for nukeproof while he also rode for banshee, to bike companies but nukeproof was used for components, his contract with banshee probs expired so he just started using nukeproof frames, im beaching, i personly prefer nukeproof to banshee

 I saw this dude ride at COC in Whistler last summer, he's pretty much a trick robot with loads of style on the steeper stuff. Way to be Fogel hope you stomp it this year at the comps!

 Fogel is a machine that we are doing our best to make copies of. The problem is none of the copies come out with his style ... on and off the bike. Hope to see you at Camp again this year ...
