gettig sponsored??

I actually hope you do, it would open up a world for it. Madison didnt
recieve sponsorship from them when he mailed them. Madison is an
overall good person to be sponsored. He works at a camp during summer,
hes a people person, and hes a really good unicyclist imo. He's an
ideal person to be sponsored based on what he can do for the company.

Its a hit or miss on the sponsorship, it depends on what they want.

but did you watch my video? ability...any kind of chance?

I watched your vid, good job i guess. Theres room for improvement, just
like everyone else. There are some small things you can do to improve
style, but overall the vid is edited well, all the good points of your
riding abilities i would guess. I mean, like everyone else has said,
riding ability is nearly worth as much as the public eye on the
product. I would say just keep riding, look the best you can in public,
contact them, contact other people as well, and you may have a chance.
😉

sorry if that doesnt help too much.

The question you have to ask yourself is why do you want sponsorship? If
you want money get a job in mcdonald's, it will pay far better for the
number of hours you put in. If you want recognition, put out some
decent videos and you will get it.

Ah but you cant unicycle while your working at mcdonald's. Also, why
not put out some decent videos WHILE wearing your sponsors jersey? that
way you get recognition, payment for doing something you love and your
sponsor gets exposure. win, win, win situation

indeed, if you get in to that situation. However, if you rate your own
achievement by whether you're sponsored or not you're never going to
enjoy your riding until you are, and once you are you'll have nothing
to aim at. I don't understand why people (particularly really young
guys for some reason) think it's so important. Unicycling for me is a
hobby, I would not want to get in to any kind of financial contract
that governed my riding.

See, thats the thing, if it governed my riding skills when i was
sponsored, i would be pushed to accel. I would greatfully go out and do
more ballsier stuff. And when we get a sponsorship, it would provide
discounted items, if we destroyed those said items, would provide
overall financial support of unicycling.

Your seeing it as a one way street, with a dead end, the dead end being
sponsorship. It really opens up another world. If you got sponsorship,
you would be able to go to more conventions, meet more unicyclists,
and (once again) have financial support.

Yeah. You dont ride for a sponsorship. You ride for fun. And if your
lucky, you will be able to do what you love for free or much cheaper.
(well... You will have to do some things for your sponsor, but thats
just the deal)

I think you will.

Its a nice feeling to say "Im sponsored by _____" And it also makes
unicycling seem more serious to non-riders when they hear that you are
a sponsored rider.

Since when was it not fun to ride with a sponsor?

Riding is always fun. Having a sponsor is simply befitting a little
from the fun stuff you already do.

I sent my Sponsor Request last week to 661...I'm waiting an answer...

I sent for some big companies In Brazil too... To some unicycle
companies in USA and Europe...

I know that my skills are not that great... But i really need a
sponsor... I destroyed my seat... I need a new one... but for me a KH
Seat will cost about 150 US dollars... the taxes for brazil are very
big... And the shipping is very expensive too...

I'm riding hard and improving fast... we have some other good riders
here (picado for example)... But i'm acctualy the youngest and the one
that is training more! And i do not have money enough to pay all parts
and equipments... I can buy some parts... but i need a new seat and at
this moment I dont have money enough... I will need to wait next
month... riding with a Seat with a lot of holes and a destroyed base!

I don't even need money... parts and discounts can Help me A LOT!
I'm trying some companies here... and i will wait other companies in
USA and Europe... I hope that i will get a sponsor soon!

Bye!

I hope you are, as said before it would open up unicycling a lot more
if a non-unicycle company sponsores you.
