im just curious are any of you sponsored? i know people will say that there overrated and you should snowboard for fun which is true but im just curious if any of you are. oh yeah and if you are by who
 
no i'm not. well, i'm sponsered by a crochet hat company but that doesn't really count. memoire headwear. the site is in my sig.
 
Meh, sponsorship is overrated. It can ruin snowboarding for you, Scott Wittlake, for example. (this isnt just in snowboarding) THe pressure to perform, compete, make a sick video part every year, it gets stressful
 
i hear what your sain. im not really lookin to get sponsored cuz i suck, just curious if anyone was.
 
^ his video is pretty dirty.

and competing can be fun once in a while i usually ride better in comps for some reason but id never want to do it more than once a year. i just like to go for personal satisfaction.
 
i have been in three comps. 2 usasa and a local rail jam the best i did was second in one usasa. idk why but i ride so much better in comps.
 
i like comps once in a while cuase i like ridng with other kids and i usualy push myself at comps. a lot of the times when i ride its with my parents (im 14 and the mountains are a while away)so its fun to chill with kids with the same interests
 
Riding in comps is sick, you push yourself, and others push you, as well as the pressure helps some (not all) people perform better.
 
comps are really fun, you get to meet a lot of people and sometimes there's free stuff and redbull :-)

my 'sponsors': monster energy, fuel clothing, jaybay, and PiNKY headwear
 
technine and forum... or burton... since they have everything and the resources to hook up all of their riders... 32 for boots
 
if you were sponsored by burton youd get anon for free so an oakley sponsorship would be kinda pointless.
 
Get on Burton and you're set for life. THey make everything (or own a company that does) Burton, Anon, ANalog, Gravis, Red, etc etc.

I'd want Technine, Grenade, Volcom, Neff, and Dragon
 
right^. i know a guy whos sponsored by burton. and he gets tons of free everything owned by burton.
 
hahah im not sponsored by them. someone a couple posts up said who would u want to be sponsored by. haha i tink im gonna work on grabbed threes before looking to get sponsored
 
whoops. my bad.

i just realized in my other post that it sounds like i want to be sponsored by monster, etc. but i am sponsored by them.

my fantasy sponsors: burton, volcom or nikita for streetwear, nixon, vans=if only they did just a footwear sponsorship, nature valley=if they did sponsorships.
 
burton bindings didnt have that great of fine tunability and forum bindings did so add more fine tunning to burton bindings and thats the new forum bindings
 
I knew a dude who was sponsored by burton and he still had heapsa fun, was like only 13 and got moved over to Oregon or Utah from New Zealand... he had never even ridden a mountain before he was sponsored, just this indoor park.
 
no i think paying retail prices for equipment is overrated. i havent paid retail since like 92. i rode for a few different compnies through out highschool. only once inmy entire carrer was did i have requirements to meet, and i dropped that sponser as soon as the requirements were laided out

i guess it does matter at what level we are talkking about, but at the bottom end when you are just getting free and cheep shit there is not much downside
 
ya sponsership can be really sick at a sort of low level where u just get free stuff and don't really have to get magazine pics and shit like that.
 
i still represent my local shop and get grea thookups through it, i get everthing at cost or cheeper.
