Ok.. this is for all the threads about sponsorship that i've seen all flying around people who are wanting to get sponsored and wondering how and what it is...
allright...there has been so many people talkin about sponsorship right now and merely none of them know what it's really about... it's not so much about getting deals...or ur skill which has allready been mentioned...but here is my personal view on what sponsor ship is...
sponsorship is just really another form of advertisement for companies, it's not just for sports but for any company or event. it does more than paying for commercials or or banners and what not. so really what that company is doing is looking for different ways to advertise. ie... supporting a local racer who might get video coverage for a race with thier logo on his jersey. but sponsorship is again as mentioned not about the skill it's how u handle urself as a person while represent the company. being sponsored is like u being almost like a live commercial, advertising that companies gear and expanding it's buisness. now sponsorship comes of course in different levels. u may make a contact to a company that u start to know. and hey maybe they'll give u a free t-shirt to wear around as u support them. but sponsorship grows as u do more for them....if u start gettin out to public more..maybe doing shows or riding on the trails more and the company is starting to notice an improvement in thier sales maybe they'll start sending u some gear to keep u safe and in return u tell other ppl that's it's great gear. so the level of sponsorship depends on the level u get out to the public.....of course all the top name guys have all these sponsors because he's doing a huge amount of advertising as he's coming down and hanging around at the world circuits and what not....
so yeah i've typed a lot but to sum it up...sponsorship i feel is more as an advertisement franchise. yeah ok to a certain extent. ur skill can determine how high in the sponsorship ranks u get...but with any company nomatter how good u get u still have to present urself as a really kewl fun personality guy.....
well there's my 2 cents...lol..
so i hope that enlightens the one's who had no clue to sponsorship and hope it clears the topic
