  2. As for how good do you have to be it really depends who you want to get
    sponcored by. 661 is a really easy one to get, they pretty much sponcor
    anyone who asks. For uni companies you need to be a lot better though.
    I think getting sponcored just to say you are sponcored is pretty
    stupid.

  3. i tried to get sponsored. i tried everymain company. qu-ax seemed
    interested, but they said they already had enough riders for
    sponsoring. same with gb4. qu-ax MAY send me a t-shirt though, thats
    kinda cool. and i dont know how good you have to be to get
    sponsored...probably not like great, just make a really appealing
    video...im making liek a 10 minute one now but i still dont think ill
    get sponsored.

  13. someone from my lbs asked me if i was interested in a sponsorship. I
    would get a new non splined trials uni for $140. I would also get
    discounts in the shop along with free labour. I didn't take the offer
    because I kind of want a splined trials uni

  16. I am sponsored by qu ax, i am clearly not a great rider, but its good to
    have a couple of things you can mention that are official, for me it
    was highest official level in uk and british freestyle champion 2003
    (glad i won it this year, it was getting a very out of date brag lol)

    So i think it is partly that and also, you have to be a benefit to the
    sponsor i think or i certainly feel like i want to be to justify my
    sponsorship, for example i perform all over the country with my dad so
    now i where a qu ax t shirt and give out there catalogues and such, so
    i feel like i am actually helping them out in return, i agree with
    spence that you shouldn't get sponsored just for the sake of it,
    although to be honest that was probably what I did plus i had broke my
    freestyle and onza was on its way out, but what would be your other
    reason for getting sponsored

    well that is my long opinion on the subject distracting me from
    revision for 2 gcse exams tommorow thanks alot! lol

  18. like lucas1wheel said, being sponsored isnt just about the free stuff.

    companys sponsor you so that you promote their products.

    for snowboarding i am sponsored by Zardoz not wax(if you ski or
    snowboard you should really check it out, its good stuff) And i am
    flowed by Vans boots and agency bindings(before they quit making
    bindings that is)

    anyways, i try to promote them as much as i can.

    its only fair, they hook me up with free stuff. so i tell people that
    they should ride it, and then when people see me riding and see me
    throw down some sick tricks, they can see my jacket with my zardoz and
    vans patches on it they might remember me when they go to buy new boots
    or wax

  20. send them a video of you riding..and a email telling them you like thier
    products and would like to represent their company, also spelling
    sponsor correctly might help.
