  1. I got a few questions for sponsored riders, because im really improving,
    and soon enough i wanna be sponsored.

    1. How do you get sponsored?

    2. What are the advantages? what are the disadvantages?

    3. As a sponosored rider, do you get to travel?

    4. Is there an age limit to be sponsored?

    im into street riding, and i can do crankflips, 180 unispins, i can do
    a little flatland, wheelwalking, one foot riding, and i can jump a 5
    set of stairs.

    thats all ive learned so far, and i kno ive got a long way to go, but i
    would like to know the answers to my questions of sponsorships.

  5. there probably is not a set age limit. but there would be thing that
    would differ for different age groups. there not gunna depend on a 14
    year old like they would a 20 year old.
    also give the people some time to respond

  7. sixsixone is an easy sponsor. If you want to get sponsored then you
    have to know how you are going to help promote the company, that's the
    purpose of sponsorships.
    Do you want to be sponsored just you can say your sponsored or do you
    want to help promote a company and represent them?

  8. stop trying to get sponsored and just go ride because you like the
    sport. ONe of the reasons unicycling is so fun is because there's
    almost no pressure to do anything you're not comfortable with because
    there's not alot of competitions or people that ride so you just go at
    your own flow. Don't jump into getting all these crazy cash prizes for
    being a good unicyclist. To the average person, unicycling makes you a
    clown. Just go outside and ride because you enjoy it.

  10. Just post a video that is so awesome that it scares Kriss just to watch
    it, Amanda writes you love letters and Sean commits suicide rather than
    look at himself again.
    Then ignore Amanda and marry Paris instead. Get her really drunk and
    send her out for more beer. When she gets busted you can use that as an
    excuse to dump her and go out with Sharpova, who is a bit old for you,
    you can do better. However, when Nike sees how much more charisma you
    have, you can steal her sneaker endorsement. Which is worth 10 times
    more cash then Kriss will ever see in his life. That's how I would do
    it.
    Ahhh, to be young again. Truely sir, it is wasted on you.🙂

  11. Hey Brendan,

    If you look at the people who are sponsored by Kris Holm, most of them
    all got sponsored by first getting their name out there as a good
    rider. That is usually done through online videos, or getting featured
    in a DVD or some sort. Now there are some other options too, like
    trying to get your picture in UNI magazine. The other important thing
    is that you actually support the company you want to get sponsored by.
    Make sure you are first riding their products and that you know they
    are good. There is no age limit to sponsorship. A sponsor will want
    to see a certain level of maturity, but I mean I'm 20 right now, and
    Luke Collalto is 15. As long as you can still ride hard, you can still
    be sponsored.

    Advantages are mostly that you get either free or discounted equipment
    or other products, as well as the fact that your name gets a little bit
    more recognition.

    Disadvantages...hmm... I guess for some companies, their terms might be
    a little binding. Like not being able to freely wear some clothing
    while riding, or not being able to use a different part if you like it
    better. Not all companies are like that, but some are I've heard.

    I hope that answers your question a bit. Keep riding hard and
    progressing. Try to get creative with your tricks, and stuff will
    happen.
