yea? how manny of them SR forks are international? ive seen 1 fork and it was on a dudes scooter that had contacts in america. im saying that the prices are insnaely high on SR, ive seen a lot of forks go out and theres only like 3 sponsored riders and coencideanlly they have all meet buff, hm. sponsoring friends is pretty cool. dont get me wrong im thankful i just dont really think he has that much of a right to say he supoorts the sport or whatever, yeah he does but not all that much. and look the peopel he has sponsored are in america, the land of the $40 pro model where as in aus if i need new forks i have to pay $160 or go and beat up a littel kid while you guys have like razorama to buy new forks and sh-t? seriously i dont even have any forks right now and i dont have anywhere to get any besides paying $160, im NOT saying he should sponsor me at all im just saying theres people that really need a SR sponsorship.
and paying for SR isnt that much of a price, im just saying if anndrew wasnt paying for it someone else would have a forum. and its not like SR is the thing keeping you on a scooter, its just ltiterally a resource to find things to buy stuff elswhere.
same goes for 'wee', i'd like to see your accointing pages bro, you dont sponsor anyone and you claim its 'non-profit' yet bars cost SO much more, i rememebr ride bars were like $60 for chromoly bars. i cant see where your money is going dude. but whatever you might be saving for more SR forks i dont know, im just saying thats how it looks
and if anyone goes and says 'oh you can get SR forks though wee' you can suck a fat one beacuse it costs much more from wee.
edit: HAHA, someone just told me i could get banned for this post, whahahah yeah guys ban me for stating my oppinon. do it.

um cuz cromoloy is expinsve and aluimin doubled in prices recently chill were lucky our parts are cheap compared to say a down hill bike tires alone or 50 bucks rimms 300 frotn sespenison can go for over 1000 can i add more
Yeah, we love you too.emu. said:
We still are non-profit. I get salary for the job i do and rest of the income is going into new projects.
And we DO sponsor a few local people to test parts, but i'm not gonna brag with it.
"Look, we are sponsoring riders" - who needs to hear/read that shiit? It's not necessary.
And the prices are up thanks to the world economic crisis that have raisen up in the last year, plus many thanks to the European Union laws on customs and import marketing.
Just for everybody to know, prices are still going up and this is all thanks to the big noses at Arab Emirates, selling oil barrels at a high price. And also parts are becoming better and better on both SR and WEE which means better parts cost more because it takes more money to make them better.

fair enough bro, wasnt aware of the price raises on metal. i just asumed that prices were staying what they were/
want to sponsor me? i ttly love your company and have %110 supported it, i would never speak badly of it at all.
hahahahahaha

you guys do realise how profitable sponsors are if you get the correct people though, like not even joking if you sponsored the Whatanidiot kid off youtube you would get more respect then if you sponsored like... BK, even tho BK completely sh-ts alover the kid, sponsorship is about advertisment (that is if your wnating to think that way), the idiot dude has like what? 2000 subscribers? all he needs to do is post a video review of your bar or w/e and your going to get a lot of view on that and as long as he links your comapny in the side bars your going to get links. dont bleive me? every day i get about 2 or 3 comments asking where they can buy bars, odv. i link them to the seasoned website and number of kids have told me they ordered. im getting roughly above 1000 views each day on youtube (IF i dont post a new video, if i post a new video theres odv. more) and theres epope getting much more then me, but if they linked your company in the side bar on every video you would recive a lot of traffic. i just think there should be more sponsorships going around here, like yeah theres the dumb teams everybody has.. but ive seen like 2 legit companys in my few years on this site. l

I'm getting sick of reading your posts bitching about how Andrew doesn't support the sport, I bet its very hard running a business and a website while having a full time job and trying to have some type of social life. I would LOVE to see you attempt to even come close to what Andrew is doing right now.
Has for Wee bars, I totally understand why prices are so high, price of oil goes up, so does everything esle.
So derek just because something isn't up to your standards doesn't mean you should start crying about it.
It costs A LOT to ship to AUS and other parts in the world from here, so even if Andrew doesn't start shipping to other parts of the world it will still cost a lot of $.
I'm sorry we have access to about everything in America like cheap pro models, buff bars, forks, etc. Its just because its America, in time Aus will have access to this stuff to, its just a matter of time.

Shelby Grimnes said:
I dont want to run my own forum? the reason i critisize this forum is because i love it and i dont like the way its going, people dont come on this site because they dont like the amount of anoying people on here (you want proof i can quote a number of people). now yes, i have noticed a few mods are cleaning up a few things but ive also notcied not as many are posting (im aware your getting new mods)
i never said andrew doesnt support (lol prolly sounded like it, i dont blame you for thinking that) and i never said its not that time consuming to have a full time job etc. but i just want god damn postage to overseas, yes your mildly supporting the US scene but you have done litterally nothing for the overseas scene besides supporr a website, i know that costs but thats part of the price of 'sipporting the sport' remember?
Shelby Grimnes said:
thank you, i just acnolliged your point
how about no? if i critisize something then there is clearly room for improvment, and thats how things get better. i just gave the dude props. its not crying about it, id rarther tell them to improve then sit here and be like 'oh cool... yeah cool... cool' and sit there and suck up to them, YOU stop being such a little bitch and learn to critizize.
Shelby Grimnes said:
and?.. no one said they arent willing to pay the cost for extra postage.
who says aus will have acess to this? pro models are mass imported and still cost $160, i dont see ANYONE being able to import more for less as its already being done by a large corprate company. its going to cost that much always in aus and thats the way it is.
