What's the story there? I've never heard of someone killing it so hard and not having an exclusive hard goods deal.

Could it be that he's actually an aspiring park ski reviewer?

 
He really has no sponsor. One day filming last month, he skied on my 5 year old moments. It was lolz.
 
And does the one of the sickest tricks in the whole movie and it only makes credits. Cork 7 roof tap
 
Max got hurt his first day filming for WE. He was only in the credits because he didn't log enough shots compared to how the movie was set up. If he had been healthy, he would have had more shots. Sponsors played zero roll in that.
 
He should have had something back when this dropped

ridiculous skier.when the video of the left/right 2s on got posted everybody in that thread knew he was gonna be killin it.

he'll be hooked up in no time for sure.
 
He doesn't have a sponsor, well, thats not entirely true, the local atomic rep tried to get him hooked up but it never happened he ended up with a pair of skis that lasted him a couple weeks, all companies he sent his video to turned him down saying they didn't have it in their budget.
 
i think he needs to drop the poor boyz aspirations and make a superunknown edit. He is too good to just be in the credits.
 
I don't know max's situation but I do for a fact know that sponsors have to pay for segments in movies. Those of you that think I am wrong are not living in the real world. Poorboyz has to make money and it sure as hell doesn't come from the 1000 or so copies of $15 dollar dvd's. I wish it wasn't the case but it is.
 
being sponsored means representing a brand. there is a whole side of it that an athlete has to fulfill. its not in a company's budget to send free skis to every really good skier out there in hopes that it will somehow result in good marketing and improved sales...
 
in fact, most of the time the skiing part is not the biggest factor of why people get free skis.

not talking about real sponsored riders here, but coaches or skiers with a lot of connections on the hill get their skis easier for free than others.

these guys represent your company by talking to kids, recommending your product on the lift, explaining the technology, telling other people where they can test the skis, maybe even have rental bindings on to let others try them straight away... this is word to mouth marketing, people get a relation to the product way easier and this increases sales more than some ski edit on the internet.

the problem with skiers who put out edits nowadays is just that there are so many. how do kids really remember some am skiers? they need to throw some real special shit to get enough recognition.

good example in that case is the evan williams edit of kieran mc veigh it at the beginning of this year. perfect representing of nordica skis, different style, a vid to remember.

kinda went off topic, but yeah, max morello should get a sponsor asap =)
