Are You sponsored

Memphis Unicycle Club is "sponsored" by Scwalbe tires. We sing the
praises of the Big Apple on our 29s. I'm not sure what we get out of the
deal. Maybe a discount on tires. But I bought mine before the
sponsorship. So I'll get my discount in another several hundred miles.

What do you get out of your deal? Free Pizza? Money?

the problem is, is that even if you do find a sponser, what do they
sponser you for? most bike shops dont even carry unicycle parts, and if
its through a food joint, then all you probably do is year a shirt
advertising them and get discounts on food. i wanna see uni.com have a
sponsered team, that would be cool

threre is a place, a place far from here. where unicyclists and
unicycles play and sing together. and where the big bad slurpee throwers
are non-existant. and where unicycle=pimp. and where the trails thrive
and live. -the place i go when i ride-

Hello. I'm part of the Bedford Unicycles factory team, and I'm sponsored
by GB4 manufacturing as well. They've been awesome. My new uni combined
of parts from both of them is just about here. I hope more people start
getting sponsored by stuff like shoe companies or clothing companies.

The HoW gang is sponsored by our LBS, Rowletts. We got jersey's and a
10% discount and they might pay our registration fees for comps like
Motorrama. John Glazer is also sponsored by SIXSIXONE, he gets 40% off
everything.

i'm sure a lot of people would like to see that
since the money would come out of their operating profits, it would
probably mean that u and i would have to 'pay' for it in (slightly)
increased prices
would u be kewl with that?

if any riders are sponsored by sixsixone, how? did you send them
pictures? a written peice explaining what you do? if you made a video,
could you possibly post it to the gallery? i'd like to shoot for
sponsorship, but i think i need more of an idea of how good one ought to
be.

Got to a Local Bike Shop(LBS) with a demo tape(usually 10 minutes long
with a ton of riding and possibly a short bio or intro, and some clean
but good music). And ask if they are sponsoring anyone right now, also
mention you have a demo tape. Say like "Hey are you sponsoring anyone
because I have a demo tape and all... So if you wanna see it."
I did this with a local Mountain Bike shop "Seirra Nevada Cyclery"(Can
order me parts from their supplier[has actual unicycle parts] and give
me them at half off, unless its something expenive like a profile setup
the I would only get like 75% off 🙁 ) They got me a pair of 661's
cheap($15) and free of shipping and stuff.
And a local BMX shop that has a ton of stuff I could need( really nice
Pedals, wheel shop, shoes, clothes, helmets, and goes to a ton of
events) "T-Rix Bicycles" I just walked in with my uni and immediately
they were asking to see me ride but i said I had a video and if they
wanted they could watch it so they were mega psyched and were like
"Sure".
I did both of these in spring and still havent had to go to any
events(Although I would like to) but every tie I go in they all
recognize me and callme by name. So im not complaining.

Both of them sponsored me hapily and Sierra Nevada cyclery gave me a
jersey but its mega thin and looks like the shirt that John was trying
to get rid of at CMW (Mine is Purple, Yellow, Green, and weird and
covered in sponsor logos) I've worn it 2 times but once was when I was
riding and I knew I was gonna see one of the owners that day and the
other was because I was going to ride with a bike club for a short
mountain bike ride, and new that if I wore the sponsor jersey that I
wouldn't get as many skeptics. Its not really that ugly i just have yet
to wake up and say, "Hey lets wear that shirt today when I ride!" Maybe
this sunday on my weekly longer ride I will wear it just for fun.

My dream is to be sponsored by www.unicycles.com.au Gary is just so
nice, and he gave me the biggest discount! In fact my 661s should be
here any day...

But Catboy... either you mean 25% off or some variation on 75%, for
example... 7.5%
