SR Flow Team????

[Snow Patrol]

who the fuck gives a flying shit.

just ride and see what happens, and when you get good things might open up to you.

and dont expect sponsors or whatever opportunities that come to you, or act like a dick because you get good.

because i will kill you.

and? andrew claims to support the sport and he sposors 3 riders and eosnt send international and runs a small website, i think he could do more. not that ive done a lot im just saying.
edit: im aware he has a job.

you're joking right?

how many riders out there DON'T have SR forks, buffs, a t-shirt, or have never bought wheels from SR? practically every scooter in the your scoot thread has SR forks.

not to mention he pays for SR. who knows where the sport would be without it? i guess NBS forum would be the SR of today maybe.

I think we all could do more.

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.

Just to clear up a few things:

1) SR is not just a website it is a registered business in San Diego, California. I pay for license, registration and taxes on top of any website expenses.

2) The WORLD is in a recession. Most of you are probably too young or too preoccupied riding scooters to take any notice to the current situation of our world economics. EVERYTHING is expensive. Raw materials to make parts and fuel costs for shipping have both doubled and you expect things to stay the same price? I have to make a living too.

3) I do not and will not sponsor anyone until I have met with them, talked to them and watched them ride in person so that is no coincidence. That is just how I run my team and I do not plan on changing it. I like to know WHO I'm sponsoring before I let them represent my company.

4) Sponsorships are an agreement between a company and a rider where you get free parts if you help promote my company. Now, why would I sponsor someone in a country that I do not ship to? It would be a dead end promotion and that is just common business sense. Which brings me to my next point.

5) I have said it before and I obviously need to say it again: I have no problem sending parts to Australia as long as there is someone down there willing to deal my products like Madis does in Europe. NO ONE from Australia has contacted me seriously about doing this and it is simply too much work for me to do on my own so until someone from YOUR country steps up to the plate you are just going to have to deal with it. If/when someone decides they are serious enough to get my parts down there with some decent volume and people start riding my stuff then I won't have any problem sponsoring Aussies but you can't just sit 5,000 miles away complaining about how easy everyone in the states has it and how we need to hand it to you at our expense. You have to DO something about it.

6) I am primarily a one man operation so anything that happens with SR, the team, the store, new products, etc. only happens when time and money allow and right now all my time and money is being spent on patents and travel to meet with investors and to promote the sport at as many comps as I can possible make it too. I am not just running a website. I am building the foundation for a scooter empire and that takes time.

That's about it. Questions, comments, complaints?


Thanks for the criticism. I actually do like hearing it.

To answer the actual thread: The pro team will be expanding by the end of the year. By how many spot? I don't know yet. There will also be a flow team as well. All matters concerning the team though are on hold until I get my patents finished and get all the new products rolling out.

haha, i got owned. awesome bro.

on the note of sponsorship tho, im not quite understanding the not- meeting people bit BUT whatever it is your business and thats cool if you want to make sure you have a chill team to rep your company.

how much do i have to order? i mean if i ordered roughly the same amount as madis how much did the total of parts + shipping work out to be?

Best quote ever.

 

[willywoghead]

There are roughly over 50 forks sold to the rest of the world by WEE.

Not just Europe; Canada, Asia, Australia and the rest of the world too since there are no other non-US dealers. And when Andrew was too busy trying to get his patents done, then i even had to take care of the US market temporarely. Andrew is no easy person and has no easy life due to these huge things he's dealing with, so i'm doing my best to help him out to achieve them.
