the way i see it is, monster dont actually need to sponsor anyone really as it seems to have become a brand name in clothing. for eg. moster energy hoodies etc. i've just baught(sp) a motorcross bike and it has monster energy graphics. every time i go to a race monster are getting publicity, so not only are they getting free publicity but those grahics were paid for, which in turn a percentage goes to monster for the use of their logo. at most motorcross events theirs always alot of monster hoodie, t-shirts, caps, helmets, riding gear, bike graphics. they are getting ALOT of publicity free and getting paid for it. win win in my eyes

If you look at comparative level BMXers or skaters for riders like Damon, the videos they produce look a load better and are produced a lot better. I'm not comparing the riding or skill involved, I just mean that in other sports - that happen to have a lot of outside sponsorship by companies like Monster, Rockstar, etc. - there's a lot more emphasis placed on image, and how people portray themselves and, as a direct result, their sponsors in videos. Every time I see a video by Damon or Tunni I always think about what could potentially happen if there was a bit more effort put into the filming and editing, and how much more of an impact it could have on people outside the trials world. I'm well aware that they "just make videos for fun" or whatever, but if people are entertaining ideas about corporate sponsorship like this then the media side of things has got to improve to either get it to happen, or to sustain it.

You make quite a lot of good, useful, or otherwise entertaining posts - but I believe this to be your best to date.
