Mark W Posted November 6, 2005 Report Share Posted November 6, 2005 Ah well, 20% warn now. 10% for swearing, and 10% for being so mean to me (Y) Anyway, for sponsorship - just keep going out and riding, improve yourself, then try and edit together a video that you think shows your riding in it's best light. Then, mailshot :D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

deonn trials 55 Posted November 6, 2005 Report Share Posted November 6, 2005 Hi there,the way to get sponsered is to make a really good video and get it well edited.And send it to some bike shops asking if they could sponsor you.E.G secndlayerclothing,interactclothing ect.But it isn`t the end of the world if you don`t get sponsord just keep doing your best and constantly pushing your limits. Thanks Deonn. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
adamtrials Posted November 6, 2005 Report Share Posted November 6, 2005 Or you could get freindly with a shop owner. Thats what i did to get sponsored to fly rc helicopters. Or you could just get a job... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ash-Kennard Posted November 6, 2005 Report Share Posted November 6, 2005 Just ride for fun. I'm also 14, riding for almost 2 years, And i've been told you have to be 16 and over to be sponsored because it is a job and insurance reasons, or sumat like that.

Ali C Posted November 6, 2005 Report Share Posted November 6, 2005 if you go down the video rout, its no good just making the one, showing it to the company, then not making anymore..... You need to persuade them that you will get their company/product known to other people. Making lots of vids is a good way, it worked for Craig and Neil. But their vids are really well know for their riding, its no good trying to get sponsorship with crappy vids. Another way is to enter comps and get some good results, companies are much more likley to sponsor a good rider who sometimes gets media coverage in mags due to comp results. You also have to be really well behaved, no company would want to sponsor a dick, you need to act right, say the right things and so on. To be honest though, unless your an amazing rider for your age, I wouldnt hold your breath about getting a decent sponsor, everyone wants it, but only a few get and deserve it.

rickyb Posted November 6, 2005 Report Share Posted November 6, 2005 I don't think you have to be 16 years old or older to be sponcered my mate could have been sponcered by toxin but he couldn't afford the frame so he's going to leave it for a bit i think. Just get some good clip's and good editing and send them to trials shops like said before >_< rickyb Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Houseface Posted November 6, 2005 Report Share Posted November 6, 2005 go to your local bike shop with some footage. but make sure you have atleats a stack at the end because then they know that atleast you can take a fall and still ride away. steve.

RicH_87 Posted November 6, 2005 Report Share Posted November 6, 2005 I sponsered my self...did it through my shop/work it's all good. That's hardly being sponsored is it, that's you paying for you're own bits but getting them cheap through wholesale or whatever. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
petit_pablo Posted November 6, 2005 Report Share Posted November 6, 2005 Way back when i 1st started riding trials my lbs used to see alot of the local riders and used to put their stickers on our bikes. Being the innocent / ignorant kids we were we never got anything free or discounted and the lbs got loads of free advertising >_< Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

petit_pablo Posted November 6, 2005 Report Share Posted November 6, 2005 Highlighting the difference between a 'sponsor' and a good sponsor there >_< Lots of riders are getting 'sponsored' now simply for stuff like grips or brake pads. I guess that's not a bad thing, but it sorta leads people into having weird ideas about why they ride and so on... Ive noticed that. Its not really what i would call sponsorship. Id rather ride and be happy using quality parts than have a "sponsor" for possibly an inferior part. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark W Posted November 6, 2005 Report Share Posted November 6, 2005 It's not so much that. I go through grips all the time, so I guess it might help me, but it's just that it's not sponsorship really. It's just giving away a really, really cheap part just so people will spread the word about the company on here. People are getting too "into" being sponsored, and so some people are just bare-faced lying on here to keep their "Sponsors" happy (to keep getting grips 'n' pads :blink:). Not naming any names, but if I needed to I could give you a list of people this applies to... Anyways, it just seems that people are reverting back to the idea of riding to be sponsored as opposed to riding to have fun. Not to mention that people just keep wanting more for less, too (Y) I dunno. Maybe I'm just pissed about having to watch a trillion URL's at the start and end and middle of every new video out now >_< Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
