Ben Gosden Posted December 30, 2012 Report Share Posted December 30, 2012 What shop are you going to? your route shouldnt bother them unless your having some kind of attempt at gaining sponsorship. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paperclip Posted January 1, 2013 Report Share Posted January 1, 2013 If your a up and coming rider that shops might look at as a potential rider your not going to be in Green for long. You should concentrate on your riding rather than making a name for yourself Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TrialsIsHard Posted January 1, 2013 Report Share Posted January 1, 2013 It's more about what benefit you're going to give the shop, rather than what route you ride. If you're a nice person, have a good reputation and are eye catching with your riding. Then you'd be a good candidate for them to sponsor as people will take more notice of you. Whereas you could be a great rider, and an absolute penis in person it still wouldn't mean you're a good candidate for sponsorship. Essentially you want to represent the shop, so think about what kind of qualities a shop would be looking for and work on being that rider. hope this helps Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lewis Gething Posted January 1, 2013 Report Share Posted January 1, 2013 To be honest though, if you need to ask the question of how to get noticed, you probably aren't the right person for the job. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

shercofray Posted January 1, 2013 Report Share Posted January 1, 2013 If you chase them and lick there arse - you're probably not going to get any good attention and they will find you annoying very quickly. Concentrate on your riding you shouldn't do a sport to get 'sponsored' you should do it because of your love for the sport. So grow up and ride your bicycle several years down the line someone may notice you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
williams Posted January 2, 2013 Report Share Posted January 2, 2013 Sponsoring isn't about being the best rider out there. It's about representing a company and get their name out. Just do what you love and don't care if you're sponsored or not. Ride for fun. Yes I'm sponsored, but sponsoring haven't made riding 'funnier' than it where before. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

onza pro series guy Posted January 2, 2013 Report Share Posted January 2, 2013 (edited) get naked and cover yourself in goose fat, go to the shop and run at the window, then do spin your penis around while doing starjumps outside, if this still doesn't attract their attention enter the shop and perform the moonwalk while humming 'Billie Jean' to yourself up and down the isle, then present your testicles to the shopkeeper by pushing your shaft to one side and squeezing them as hard as you can while screaming 'Why don't you love me like you used to?!' Then ask him if he can smell his mum on your breath and burp in his face. Then squat in front of a CCTV camera and squeeze out a massive turd on the floor, insert a miniture flag of Azerbaijan in it and run away while making a noise like a dying velociraptor. it's never failed to get me noticed Edited January 2, 2013 by onza pro series guy 10 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
