unicycle sponsorsing

we've been over this about a million times, use the search. and unless
you're winning huge contests/starring in videos, don't expect much in
sponsonship from the few unicycle companies. 661 will sponsor basically
any but it's a slight discount on gear(at the lowest level), i'd try a
local bike shop for some sort of a hook up.

Don't be discouraged by the above message. It's clear you're a newbie to
the forum so we'll excuse you not using the search function just this
once.
As markf said, it's gonna be pretty hard for you to get sponsored by
any big noises in unicycling but why not try other places such as
skate/bmx/mountain biking sponsors or energy drinks companies will
sometimes sponsor riders. Just search about and really showcase
yourself, sell your positives and make sure they know that you will be
an asset.

doesn't really matter, It's just what the body does.

I presume it's because he is also into rock climbing. I guess rock
climbing isn't very high profile so he wants to help the sport out as
much as possible, like he does with unicycling.
Speaking of KH riders, does anyone know about Zack Baldwins position,
sorry to high-jack the thread.

I'd guess he's wanting to sell to new riders. Rock climbers are a bunch
of people who are likely to give things a go, used to spending money on
gear, and if they were to buy unicycles, are likely to be interested in
the same kind of muni riding that Kris does.

Sponsoring non-unicyclists is a way to grow unicycling. People who are
only visible to unicyclists aren't so likely to sell unicycles to new
people.

I know! He said that it was to spread the sport of unicycling to a
bigger audiance. Also, rock clibming ties to unicycling very well to
unicycling.

Right you are. Climbing/skiing/unicycling are all similar in regards to
balance and core strength, as well as other aspects. Kris is not
sponsoring just your average rock climbers, he's sponsoring some of the
best climbers. All three, Dean Potter, Steph Davis (married to Dean),
and Lynn Hill, have set very high standards for climbing. They all
have records on El Cap as well as many other places.

It's great to see climbers being recognized by other companies,
especially unicycling companies, and Kris is a great link between the
communities.

Check out http://www.unicyclist.com/forums/showthread.php?t=54576 for
more info on his sponsorships.
