To many sponsors?

I was just looking and it seems like there are some people with multiple sponsors. IMO I think it is kind of ridiculous for people to have lots of sponsors. Like some people deserve them like Coedie with MGP, Razor, Skater HQ, and Eagle. What do you guys think?

What tony said, and I don't know what you're talking about Patrick. If you're saying people are having too many sponsors that's entirely not true.

razor wouldnt let him be on both. he WAS on razor, but isnt now.

Correct.


I don't think it's a big deal unless it conflicts with another sponsor. Like if a rider rode for Razor and MGP, that'd be a problem. Unless they worked a deal out with their sponsors to have MGP purely as a parts sponsor and Razor for decks. I worked that deal out with District and Razor. District being all parts, and Razor being my deck sponsor. And District is happy because Razor pays for trip expenses so all they need to do is send me free product. Sometimes it works out for the better that way.

One that I don't see as an acception is people who ride for Fuzion and another deck making company. I'm not too fond of Fuzion as is, with the way they conduct their team. But I don't see having four wheels as a good enough excuse. It's still a rival scooter company, regardless of wheel count.

Most pro skaters have sponsors for wheels, trucks, decks, clothing, hats, etc.
As long as it doesn't conflict with other sponsors.

Yeah but when people have more than one sponsor usually its not that big of a deal. What i mean is someone might e sponsored by DSA, Eagle, and another company but might not get free products. Like you get everything half off instead of free products, if u catch my drift

Yeah, I get what your saying. I dont know if they do this for scooters, but there is different kind of sponsors.

Some people only get flow sponsorships and stuff

Exactly, just like I said.

If you pay, that's a co-sponsorship.

i reckon 2 sponsors at the most is fine. 3 maybe if one or 2 of them are like just a small bike/skate shop or something

I really don't think it matters, you cold use a razor deck, RAD bars, eagle sport wheels, district clamp, districk pegs, eagle/district bearing, and then you could have a Nike shoe sponsor like Zig Short, and then maybe be sponsored by Jessup clothing. Then a local shop. I really just think it depends on the sponsor giving you the sponsorship and you deserving it.
