as a member of the broadcast team. All events were filmed at the HD
Hyundai Customer Product Center in Carnesville, Georgia, and will continue to be
shared from Hyundai social platforms such
as YouTube and Facebook.
"We had an incredible time putting this together with some of
the biggest construction industry names in social media and
YouTube," says Susan Philpott,
marketing manager, HD Hyundai Construction Equipment. "The sense of
competition and camaraderie is clear as each competitor gives it
their all throughout the events — there's lead changes, there's
competitive drama, and it all serves to highlight the passion and
skills of the construction industry."
"I see the National Equipment League existing somewhere at the
crossroads of mixed martial arts and dirt track racing," says
Bill Elverman, commissioner of the
National Equipment League. "It's being built to give future
generations an entertaining and dynamic view into an industry that
we're all passionate about. We hope operators from all around
North America will take note and
want to test their skills in a competition that's fun to watch but
also serves as a showcase for our industry. And we hope it provides
a platform for skilled trades men and women to serve as heroes to
future generations."
Future event dates are TBD, but the National Equipment League
championship will be up for grabs throughout the year as both
existing and new challengers take on the eventual champion.
"This is definitely an ongoing, legacy championship," says
Elverman. "We want this to be like professional mixed martial arts
where operators are calling each other out and continually going
head-to-head with the best. If our first championship is any
indication, there is excitement for that level of entertainment and
competition."
The first series of National Equipment League events will be
broadcast from the
Hyundai YouTube and Facebook channels.
Additional promotional considerations were made possible
by Blue Diamond Attachments. For more information on the
