Nxe “JRNY” Hopper Preview

Wow. I can safely say that I did not see this one coming at all.

It appears that this year, Hoppers are the new sensation. I’ve seen more releases this year than in previous ones. Nxe just issued a statement on PbNation, hyping up their new HOPPER. Thats right, Nxe…makers of soft goods will break into the loader marker at the NPPL San Diego Commanders Cup (Nov. 29th - Dec. 2nd). The new loader is named the “JRNY” (Journey), and is apparently what Nxe was talking about in all of their latest advertisements that said “The Journey Continues…”.

The press release is as follows:

Dear NXe Members,

How are you? I hope all is well.

We are very close to making some announcements to the industry. As members and loyal customers, I feel you should all be hearing our announcements from us directly and not through a secondary source. We appreciate your continued support and thank you.

As many of you know, we have already released and are shipping most of our new ‘08 line-up. Our team here has done a great job on the new line-up and if you have not seen it yet in person, just go to your local shop and check it out.

As you just read, I said “most” of the new products have been released. For those of you who have been following and seeing our advertisements in all the top paintball magazines, you may have noticed our tag line on the bottom of the ads that says “The Journey Continues. . .” Many customers have asked us what that means. We didn’t really answer them, but now we will let the cat out of the bag.

At the upcoming NPPL Commander’s Cup in San Diego, Nov. 29-Dec. 2, we will formally introduce our newest introduction, The “JRNY” (Journey). The JRNY is the first NXe item outside of the soft goods category.

Our team of electrical and mechanical engineers have taken 2 years to develop what will become “the Best Hopper in the business.” We will introduce it at Commander’s Cup and no pictures or other information about the “JRNY” will be released until then

Please come on down to San Diego and experience a great paintball event as well as the hottest new product to hit the paintball industry in a long, long time. We will have the NXe trailer there as well as a VIP area that will overlook center court. We want you to be a part of this so we will hold a contest and have 10 winners who will be invited to come and hang out with us in our VIP area, meet the NXe team, as well as most of our Pro Teams and industry dignitaries.

Hope to see you there and don’t forget, “The Journey Continues. . .”

All the best,
John Bosch

The only picture that they have released is this one. They are claiming that nothing else will be released to the public until the San Diego NPPL Event.
