yooo so my uncle responded and is very interested but they go by only the original sports. here is his response:
Max,
Great to hear from you buddy! Thanks for the email. Super cool of you. I�m impressed by your passion for scootering. Stoked you�ve found something you love doing.
I watched a few of the clips. Killer stuff! Few of those guys do some pretty sick moves. I definitely see the similarities to skateboarding and bmx. Fun to watch. Dig the airs!
Historically, Havoc has consisted of the following ââ?¬Å?traditionalââ?¬Â action sports: surfing, skateboarding, snowboarding, motocross & bmx. These 5 have defined Havoc Sports. Each genre has pro athletes who help keep them authentic, pure and ââ?¬Å?legitââ?¬Â. These are the genres we pitched to the cable companies (Comcast, Verizon, Cox, Charter, DirecTV, etc) and the genres they approved for Havoc to air. I am a Co-Founder of Havoc & EVP...however, I head up all of our music...despite being an avid surfer as you know. In the past, we have passed on airing other extreme sports that donââ?¬â?¢t fit our brand, even if theyââ?¬â?¢re super close (which scootering appears to be)...even if we like them and think that they are really cool. For example, we donââ?¬â?¢t air skiing, mixed martial arts, wakeboarding, snow-mobiling, windsurfing, base-jumping, kite-boarding, etc. ...all of which are cool, respectable sports in their own right! We only get 5 hours of sports real estate on demand every month at any given time, so weââ?¬â?¢re already hard pressed to accommodate our existing action sports genres. Space is tight! We arenââ?¬â?¢t allowed to have any extra (yet). Also, we have huge partnerships with major sporting brands like Volcom, Hurley, DVS, Element, Quiksilver, Billabong, etc and the top action sports producers...so most of the VOD real estate we do have needs to be allocated to them. Lastly, my partner who handles all of the havoc sports programming is pretty diehard Surf/Skate/Moto/BMX/Snow. Perhaps a bit closed-minded...but itââ?¬â?¢s kept Havoc legit for years. They fit our Havoc brand along with our 6 music genres (Metal, Punk, Electronic, Reggae, Alternative & Underground Hip Hop). Weââ?¬â?¢ve existed for over 6 years with these genres and theyââ?¬â?¢ve worked extremely well.......so we kind of like sticking with our current formula and Havoc niche.
Cool? I definitely dig the scootering. It definitely has a bright future. Keep me posted as big scooter news comes along...or if you ever get any footage of yourself ripping. I definitely will pass along any ideas I might have to bring further exposure!
Hope that helps. Thanks again for the clips! Rock on Max.
