I ride bmx and was looking into trying to get sponsered how is the best way to do it?

Question

i am probably not the greatest rider but am slowly learning i have only ridden street for just over a year and learned quite a bit but still not the greatest

Answer 1

Slowly learning, not being the greatest... doesn't sound promising to me. Riders get sponsored because they are at least very good. The sponsors want attention, advertising, SOMETHING for their money, not a dude who's slowly learning. If your not even the best in your 'hood you don't have a chance. Sorry for the reality check.

Answer 2

there are a bunch of ways... one of the best is sponsor house which allows you to set up an account and show off to get sponsors.. but other then that its pretty hard because you need to be very good. if your talking about junior sponsorships then its easy... take kenda tires for example, you can email them and send pictures and they will sponsor you

Answer 3

there is a good website called sponserhouse try it out

Answer 4

Don't worry about it, if you've got your own style and a good attitude people will notice this. Just keep riding and learning.

You should probably be more concerned about getting a good education and a good job with a wage coming in each week/month. And if you do get sponsored you'll need a good education to work out if the contract your signing is legit.

Many sponsored riders don't get paid but get given free parts now and then. There's a lot less money in riding than people think, so make sure you leave your options open.

WeThePeople have a good part on their site about sponsorship. Check the link
