PaRtZ Posted May 29, 2006 Report Share Posted May 29, 2006 how about a group of us just say to onza "we're your new riders whether you like it or not" and we'll turn up at all the demos and walk around the the workshops telling people to work harder, faster! Design our own frames etc haha Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MasterOfGussets Posted May 29, 2006 Report Share Posted May 29, 2006 "Please team onza let me on your team""Ok random rider, your in, take this free limey..."Not gonna happen...Haha. Seems like a bit of a "teenage fantasy." I don't think a petition will make Onza sit up and listen to you. If you think you could be on the Onza team then film a video and send it to them.However, if the petition works let me know; I'll start one stating that I should be positioned as Microsoft's CEO and email a copy to Bill.

adamtrials Posted May 29, 2006 Report Share Posted May 29, 2006 (edited) I think you are over rating sponsorship. If you search there are many topics aboutsponsorship. Read them. From my personal experience, last year i was sponsored tofly radio control helicopters. Apart from the cheap stuff it really wasnt that great, thereslots of pressure to perform well etc, and ends up turning a hobby into a chore. I am nolonger that interested in rc helis. Sure when I was 11/12 i would have died to be sponsored to ride bikes. It aint all that great though.

You just get bits and bobs free, or half price and get to put their name in vids, that's about it really.On that note though i'm looking for riders to sponsor, let me know if anybodys interested.

The deal would be i'd give them free encouragement (over msn or by telephone (but only if they phoned)) if they tattooed 'JT!' onto their forhead.

yoyoyo Posted May 29, 2006 Report Share Posted May 29, 2006 This could be a 1 in a life time chance to be sponsored all you lot are just finding this as a joke dont believe about it well for example dont come moaning when your not riding for a teamYou're only going to get sponsored if your very good. It's like football, there are plenty of people who play and are amazing, but in comparison very few actually end up playing for a big team. Only those who excel above the rest do.With a company like Onza, IF they started another team and wanted new people, then they would want people who turn heads and make people want the bike that they ride. I'm not talking about catching the attention of normal people, but you need to make other trials riders impressed by watching you. Like with CLS and Neil tunnicliffe, they have a high reputation for being good and most people know they ride a Zoo, because when you watch them you remember the stuff they did because they can do stuff that most riders can't. Therefore increasing the popularity of the brand they ride for, because people will think riding that the geometry of the bike will help them be as good as him. Probably one of the reason why the python and pitbull became so popular.I have never seen you ride, so i have no idea how good you are. You might even be the next big trials rider, but don't expect a company to sponsor you unless you stand out against the rest. By all means send in a video of you, but they will be looking for the highest quality.Plus, if you are sponsored by a company it will take out the fun of it, because you will need to keep up the reputation of the company, whereas if you are riding for fun you can so what you want when you want.It is late though, so if that doesn't make sense then i'll redo it tommorow.

Danny Kearns Posted May 29, 2006 Report Share Posted May 29, 2006 ONZA should ask me very nicely to ride for them mmm..do ONZA still even compete as a team..i thought that only sort of may of counted when they compete like internationally against the likes of Monty and KOXX...can't imagine its big business for them anymore...but maybe we shall here something more as this year rolls on...And you mate have to "hopes", you want know what they are."Bob and f**king "NO".Cheers !
