Robwalker Posted November 25, 2006 Report Share Posted November 25, 2006 why do you ask, why do you ask?Why not just answer what the boys question?No im not sponserd, only a couple of people get payed, and its really not that much. The sponsers give you their parts to try out and i dont have a clue how many comps or demos they would ride a week. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Luke Rainbird Posted November 25, 2006 Report Share Posted November 25, 2006 Use the search.There was yet another bigish topic on this a short while back, and I doubt anybody who was there can be arsed with writing out the whole ins and outs of it again.In short; There's diferent types of sponsorship, most of it now being pretty pointless. "Here, have a sticker" sort of thing.Be more specific maybe and get a better answer, or search and find it out properly(sorry, little grouchy this morning/afternoon/whatever I've just woken up to!)

Dan6061 Posted November 25, 2006 Report Share Posted November 25, 2006 It depends on who sponsors you, and the actual sponsorship deal. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MikeCottTrials Posted November 25, 2006 Report Share Posted November 25, 2006 Dont worry about it, even if you did get sponsored it wouldnt be enough to keep you in the sport without having another job so all it will do is put pressure on you to perform Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How many compationons a week do you have?Are any of you guys sponsonsered ?1. No. Most sponsorships are just getting bits and bobs, some feebies etc. You can get payed, if you get a "pro" deal with a big company. Very Rare in Biketrials.2. Again, depends on the deal. You can if you get a good deal with a bike compnay. Most deals are for discounts on bikes.3. You cant really go by competitions a week, as there are never that many lol. If your deal is to do comps, and promote the sponsor via comps, you do as many as you can, because that is"your job".4. There a quite a few sponsored riders around. Each with different levels of sponsorship. (Yes, i am aswell)Hope this helpsScott Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
t33zr Posted November 26, 2006 Report Share Posted November 26, 2006 If your deal is to do comps, and promote the sponsor via comps, you do as many as you can, because that is"your job".In my contract there is only a few things that i have to do....- Put stickers on my car of the company.- Use only monty clothes when im riding.- Keep my bike in good shape...no other parts than monty.so basically i dont have to do any comps, shows, make any videos or take photos....

It's not like they have travel expenses to covergoing to comps or anything is it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
