Just ride for yourself.
If your good enough to get sponsored, people will come to you.
Just make a vid once in a while, then people will know how you ride and
who you are.

The trick is to not be concerned with that. Just ride for the fun of
it. Theres tons of threads on this. Ride because you like to ride not
because you want to be sponsored. If you do that and do it very very
well then the sponsorship will come once you put out a few amazing
videos. There are so few sponsored riders, its not at all likely that
most of us will reach that status so why be bothered with it? Go have
fun.

Learning to spell so that whoever you apply to be sponsored by can read
the application is a good first step.

Then practice a lot to become one of the top riders in whichever
area/discipline you want to, then write to companies that may be
interested in promotion of unicycling or of their business.

If you want to be sponsored by Kris Holm or Koxx then you will need to
be one of the top riders in the world, if you are only looking for
sponsorship from a local company then you just need to be good enough
to impress them and show that you have the level of professionalism to
not open them up to any liabilities.

Then keep practicing to ensure you are improving to give your sponsor
the best value for money so that they don't withdraw the sponsorship.

I wasn't being mean, the advice he gave was good. A big part of
sponsorship is your image. Not only do you have to ride very well but
you have to behave maturely and represent the company well. You could
be one of the best riders but if go around acting like a complete
[censored] then no one would want to sponsor you... well maybe koxx.

I meant to say Plumsie wasn't being mean.

I've never met a koxx sponsored rider so I can't vouch for them being
[censored], thats just the image some of them portray part of the time.

Also with being good, i would say having a sort of nitch in what you do
for riding, and riding style as well. I can name a few people who are
sponsored by certain brands half because of what they do. I dont know
the the total obscurity of the nitch, but Bryan Stevens rides a BC
wheel, sponsored by Koxx, and is relatively (understatement) great at
what he does.

I would like to be sponsored at some point, but first i just need to
establish my riding. I guess everyone would like to be sponsored and
'be cool like that' and get free things, and have videos made of them,
but you need to have initiative in your work.

I plan this summer to excell at both riding and character when i work.
I can tell already that I'm going to be doing A LOT heavier trials
unicycling, and im trying things that are a little 'crazier' so to
speak i would guess. During the summer, i work for my dad, which me
commands both my brother and I to be as professional as possible, one
of the main reasons his customers choose him.

I would say just keep on riding. Its like getting a child to pay
attention or throw a fit (lack of better words), Ignore it, and it'll
come at some point if you do your job well enough.

Dont stop dreaming for the day it may come though, it'll keep you
riding. 😉

If your goal in riding is to become sponsored then once you achieve this
goal, what is going to motivate you to keep going? Seems like you get
hte sponsorship and you just kinda fade out...

what i was meaning was, for someone like myself, i need to establish
goals i guess. It may be the same for others. Once you get sponsorship,
live it up i guess, live it up as if you didnt have sponsorship. Ride
like hell i guess. Take the sponsorship, use the gear and stuff, and
ride. Go to more conventions, get out there and uni with other people.

The thing in my place is, theres only one convention/chance to ride
with other people i have, and thats this saturday, once every year. And
this is my first year. If i got sponsored, im sure i would be able to
go to more for the sake of it.

Sounds like great thining m8, I was actually posting htat in reply to
the original maker of this thread. I remember when I was asking around
for sponsorships when I well...Honestly sucked, not sayin im that great
now, but I was just saying you have to ride for the love of the sport,
ride for the bug. It shows others how much fun you are having and gives
off a good image, that is what companies want to sponsor, riders who
are talented and will positivly promote them...

I'm sorry if I came across as mean in my earlier post, I didn't intend
it that way.

I am a professional person, I ride for fun but I think in a
professional manner. I have to think about what I say when I am working
and that carries over to my personal life and I think before I say
things and I read things before I post them.

I didn't get my job just by being good at what I do, I got it through
my professionalism and attitude as well. Being good is not enough,
there will nearly always be someone out there who is as good or better
but if you can make yourself seem like the person who is easier to deal
with and that will make the best impression on clients (I would expect
sponsored riders to have to do some meet and greet type affairs) then
you are more likely to get the job/sponsorship.

Business is about image, to be sponsored you must fit that company
image.

If you need to start a thread on RSU and ask people, you're not ready to
be sponsored.
