Mr Monty Posted July 4, 2006 Report Share Posted July 4, 2006 Some people make movie's and take pic's and send them off to companys or if you have lots of comp results (good one's) then send them off and if you can help make the company exel then they would sponsor you.

crazy_gap girl Posted July 5, 2006 Report Share Posted July 5, 2006 You know sponsorship aint all that good, even if you think it is if your not sponsored. It don't change the way you ride, or your frame of mind. It might boost your confedence for a little while though.Most people get support and sponsorship mixed up.

Neil Tunnicliffe Posted July 5, 2006 Report Share Posted July 5, 2006 Hay, I think all companies look for there own taste of riding. Like Zoo! (Dengs compaines) he likes mad street videos that involve high and far stuff Like 'lets all kill our selfs' lol. How I got sponsored that has to be about 3-3.5yrs ago I only sent Deng 3clips and he wanted me. So my advice - Look for street lines that no one does... Or do a move up something where the object is different.. Like porter says its not to hard to get sponsor. Just your advertise skills. Ride on.. Neil.

JoNnY__Mc Posted July 5, 2006 Report Share Posted July 5, 2006 advice from the man himself can't beat that... as neil said you really just have to be different, do things that nobody else does... new lines, big lines... ermmm yeah...

Joe_Kearney Posted July 5, 2006 Report Share Posted July 5, 2006 Just ride your bike sponsorship isn't essential. As long as you're having a laugh and a giggle, thats all that matters. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
