my girlfriend stopped reading people magazine...........now she just logs onto scooter resource and keeps up with all the DRAMA.
lmfao Spenny.
I see where Josh is coming from, a lot of you kids most likely don't. Cause hardly any of you really understand "Real Teams" and legit sponsorships and stuff like that. Fact is a lot of these companies put people on their Teams without the thought of contracts...and if a rider didn't sign anything..he can basically do what he wants. It may not seem morally right what he/she is doing with other companies...but without legit contracts or sponsorship agreements...they're not really locked down to any one company.

It's just an issue of respect. And there's nothing but disrespect coming towards our team with Stan. You have no idea how many times Ali has gotten into trouble because of Stan and he's only been on the team since XW.
I don't see it as respectful when a company is sending your acrossed the country to contests, everything paid for, and you ride someone elses product. Like I said, he's already taken $600+ out of the teams pocket. That could be three round trip tickets for riders to a contest.
If Stan is so worried about riding for a "toy company," he could simply keep all his other sponsors, ditch Razor if he's so embarrassed, and he's well taken care of. But honestly, I see a lot of good things from Razor. Specially the fact that they are so willing to fly their riders out all expenses paid. Very few companies actually do that right now. And if that means I'm riding an "inferior" scooter. Who cares, it's a sponsor, they will hook you up and keep you riding.
The way I see it, you treat your sponsor right, you get the same type of care in return.
I'm over it, it's just frustrating seeing all these good riders not using their common sense.

this thread is entitled "who is jesse ikedah sponsored by now" so... il address that. Who cares if he has a bunch of sponsors? worry about your own riding and jesse kills it harder then half of the "Big" names in the sport today.

im just starting my stuff, i feel Jessee has what its going to take to keep scootering moving in the right direction...forward!
just in case you all didn't realize if your sponsored...
your A WALKING ADVERTISEMENT for that company even without contracts,
they give you free stuff then you ride it or rep it
( josh toy obviously realizes and respects that )
word of mouth is more important in today's market than just about anything else (IMO)
so quit with the drama it really isn't necessary

I'll break it down like this.. When you have competing sponsors.. it cause problems. Morally its shit.
Honestly.. In my opinion. Razor is a shit sponsor. John Radtke has been on almost 2 years now.. He has to go to the store and BUY his scooters. There is never any contact nothing.. That's not a sponsor.. thats a title. And the way razor is heading anyways.. Its a shit title at that. Sure, Razor may pay for travel sometimes.. thats all good, but With recent moves by razor.. i don't see the use.
As for having competing sponsors and ridding which and what parts..
What i do is, I keep a constant line of communication between all my sponsors and myself. I ask them, "Which of your products would you prefer me to ride?"
After i Get feedback from them all. I find the conflicting part and address it and I make the final decision.
And Lately with all these companies poping up and oppourtunities to riders.. Its just going to get worse and worse.
Josh, i completely understand where you're coming from. Its an Issue of loyalty for a company that he said he'd ride for. and the way it looks is, He's wanting more and more sponsors and not satisfying them.
Stan, You know i respect you as a rider and friend.. But you probably should make a choice.
All i know is.. for myself.. I keep open lines of communication and i try to Satisfy my sponsors cause its supposed to be a mutual benificial relationship. I promote and do PR and spread you companies name.. You take care of me.
I fully support all my sponsors and i have faith in them, I try to remain loyal in all aspects of it and Maintain a level of respect for everyone involved.. I think if we all did the same.. Things would be easier.
