Re: Sponsors v.s Skills!!

To me, Jason Pullen is probably in the best position out of anybody and why he's not fully sponsored by Harley Davidson and booked every weekend is beyond me.

Normally I am not one to jump on bandwagons, but I'm still pretty ticked at him, so sign me up. He'll get no mentions from me in anything, articles, film, or phone conversations.

Re: Sponsors v.s Skills!!

This thread is amazing....I dont understand it at all to be honest with you. The reason companies sponsor people is because it promotes thier product. period. No company is going to just give stuff away because they are "nice" or they want to be "in" with someone. Companies are in it for money...so if im a business owner, im going to put my product on the most well known riders out there. They dont have to be the best...

When you see a guy on a pink bike, you think of Kane. He has made an image for himself regardless of skill level. People know who he is...and thats what sponsors want. Same with the Starboyz...they arent even in the top 10000 riders across the country but everyone knows who they are. period. You put the product on the names that are most well known. Its advertisement...nothing more.

I dont get all the hate in the sportbike community...

Re: Sponsors v.s Skills!!

I'm wide awake.. and can't sleep.. but here's my 2cents... read if ya want.. but ya don't have too..

you all are my boys... and i love you all differently... I know i haven't been around as long as some of you... but watching and listening... i've learned a little bit from each and everyone of you guys... You guys have taught me something, or helped me out with something in some shape or form... and I don't think you guys even know how appreciative I am for it all... some of you might not even know that you have... I've learned from your mistakes.. I've learned from your success... I know a lot of your secrets, in which I have kept to myself... I know a lot of your opinions on others, which I keep to myself... I know a lot of your lifestyles... I know a lot of you personally... You all have good qualities in each of you... and different style in skillz... I absolutely love watching all of you guys compete... but thats the thing... you all have your own skillz... who's defining the bottom line of what skillz means?? I'm honestly curious what it means to have top of the line skillz?

I don't necessarily agree with skillz and sponsorship having to be combined... it is all about how your promote yourself, marketing is key.. and how you go about doing it... but the names you listed darius... I don't agree with all of them not having skill... but I still don't really know who D-mann is... hahaha, jk. and pauly? you're right... I have no respect for that man... todd colbert... didn't know he still rode! haha... but those three.. I don't even compare them to you guys...i kinda see them as the old school class...

Darius, I'm not sure why you posted this thread... when I've kinda studied your career in stuntriding and success.. and I was under the impression you had some pretty good sponsors, you were doing well in the industry... you are very well known... ?? I know I don't know EVERY little thing... but I think I know enough...

so posting this? does this mean you're not doing so hot? this isn't the only thread like this from you... I've seen some other complaints about stuff going on about ya... come on bro, whats up man? you shouldn't be posting these types of threads???

Darius- you're definitely one of a kind.. and you have a sick style... and yeah you have talent... no denying that... and you can be a sweatheart too if you want to be.. but it's rare! lol... i see a lot of other upcoming stunters wanting to mimic you... the gangsta blingin look... with the 40inch rims! and the high balla toys... maybe you're aiming for the wrong type of sponsors?

Kane - he gets what he deserves, simple as that... i keep seeing people hating on him about his discovery channel stoppie... I think it's freakin sick that he was able to do it on tv... which placed an open scenario for people to try to beat... so people think they can beat the record... of course! That was the purpose of it... records are to be ?BROKEN! but he set the bar on tv first... oh no let's hate! ???? I know it doesn't mean much coming from a squid girl stunter.. but i'm proud of him... got the punk rock look, that is pretty popular nowadays... it works!

Jason Britton - what? doesn't have skill to back up his sponsorships??? who the hell are you kidding??? Excellent business man... persistant and great showmenship... helped more people in the industry than i know of anyone else, shares the wealth, and inspiring... tell me why exactly he doesn't deserve his sponsors? The all-american good family guy! VERY marketable!

again, what is your defition of skill then? cause I see you all have skillz! just in different style so correct me if I'm wrong!?!

so the people you listed that deserve sponsorships... yeah they doo.. buuut... not only do they need skillz in riding.. but they need the skillz in marketing, promoting, and business...
Teach- murderin it... how well does he promote himself though, I dont know, but I'm curious, does he go after sponsors? does he even want them? I'm honestly asking because I don't know?

Jason Pullen- that guy is the biggest sweetheart ever! and he is trying for a pretty hard sponsorship to aim for... harley? stuntriding? waht?! that doesn't mix very well! haha, persistancy Jbling!! don't give up! I love ya!!! and who makes stunt parts for those bikes anyways? He's going for an extremely hard direction... but it's gotta be possible for some type of sponsorships... just gotta find em...

Luxury joe- the foot peg stealer!! hahha... is he too luxurious to promote himself? haha again how well does he promote himself or are you all just waiting for sponsorships to come knocking on your door?

it's common busines knowledge as to what sponsors want from riders... "what are you going to do for me?"

ya gotta work for what ya want... you get what you deserve... That's the biggest lesson I have learned.. you gotta feed yourself... work for yourself... you gotta wipe your own ***... and flush the toliet too! hahahaha

that was a metaphor for those of you that didn't konw

(please don't ruin this thread by hating on me...) I really care about all of you guys... and I still consider all of you guys my family and good friends... even though you all hate each other to some degree...

Harley guys like stunts.. they can apprecaite it just as much as the next guy. And the fact that Jason P does some straight nasty **** on a harley... makes it 20x more facinating. He draws a huge crowd and is a very entertaining rider.

Welcome to Life

That's the situation with every sport all the way down to rollerblading.

It transcends sports. It is one of the most basic components of marketing taught at every school in the nation.

That William Hung guy probably took more money away from talented unsigned bands than every shady concert promoter in history combined.


If you think this is ever going to change then you are in for some sleepless nights.
