Sponsorship is complicated. I was lucky enough to get hooked up before I deserved it and I had to grow as a rider after I was already sponsored. I am glad I ride for companies that I support and would still support weather or not I was involved with them.

This is what I want to be able to do with scootering! Support a company that I love to death and would give anything to see them succeed forever! Sometimes its frustrating to me because I wish people knew the extent I would go threw to help there company grow and the love that I have for them. Someday I would love to be able to support any company that is rider owned, supportive of the sport in as many ways that are possible, and that would feel like a real family. No matter how long it takes or how hard it is, I will always stick by our sport and never let it die, sponsored or not because it's changed my life in so many ways that if I didnt have it I wouldnt want to be alive anymore. Without scootering my life would be fake. Thats why I hope that I can get on a real company dedicated to the sport like Proto, Tsi, Magray, Phoenix, Razor, Tilt, Advocate, really just any company that wont give up on our sport when its down, mainly Proto, Razor, and Tsi. Proto and Razor built our sport up from nothing with nothing and for that thank you so much because without you guys my life would be a joke with no hopes or dreams, and tsi because over the last year it really seemed like they started dying and I wasnt sure if they were going to stick around, they wernt even making hardly anything but because of the love the Kc Corning, Hep Greg, and the others from Tsi have for scootering they pushed threw it and came out with the threshold, and im praying this deck can make them move up to the top where they belong. Pretty much if I ever get a chance to support a company as great as any of the ones I just stated then that will be all i could ever ask for for the rest of my life. I just feel like I should say thank you to everyone that has had an impact on scootering and stuck with it, Andrew Broussard, Hep Greg, Kc Corning, Dustin Nooner, Dylan Kasson, James Gee and the original lucky crew, Matt Mckeen, Ryan Williams, Tom Floyd, Tyler Wheeland, Jordan Jasa, Steven Tongson, Kingsley, Jon Reyes, Dan Barrett, all the mods that have kept the scooter resource up, and so many more that I cant think of. Thank you guys so much for building scootering up and without you I wouldnt have started and I wouldnt really be anything, so thank you so much<3

This is the complete fuckin truth, same here with me, I got sponsored by Gryndo in 10' in August and I barely was 1/10 of the rider I am now, but they sponsored me due to my maturity and the way I wrote up my resume and now I get hooked up with whatever I need, I ride for the Pro team and am the Team Manager and my teammates are great friends of mine as well and we all love chilling and shredding and going on trips, it's not the tricks like me and Big Ron had a conversation about this, it's the maturity and personality and ability to progress the sport and have a good time and repping your company rather than throwing hard shit and being a asshole. It's better to be a decent rider and a good person and be fun to talk to and hang out with the younger riders, I learned this first hand when at Epic, all the pro's welcomed the gryndo team and we all just hung out, it was the greatest feeling riding with the dudes i've been looking up to for years and then getting a high five or fist bump when I would stomp a trick and just chilling and having a convo on life or riding. Great experience man, sponsorship or being a professional comes with a lottttt of responsibility and it is what you make it. I do a lot more than people seem to think

It would be nice too be sponsored. For reasons like helping out with parts. But I know it will never happen due to the fact that I don't own a nice camera, computer with editing software or somebody too film. Riding for fun is the way too go. :p

alright so i have a sponsorship story to tell since i have nothing better to do.
so one day a company called "rhino scooter's" send me a friend request and asks me if i want to get sponsored. i told them maybe, but let me know what you are offering. he said that he would give me free parts for a year, but i needed to get 10 of my friends to send him friend requests. i did, and nothing happened. i could straight up tell that this brand was just selling a bunch of china crap btw. i told him that he should change the name of the company since he seems childish. he replied a few days later saying that this company is for his 7 year old brother who has cancer. i said "oh, i see." I while later i said that i dont want to be a part of the company because i dont really like the brand. he said ok. a few days later he comes out with a few parts that look a lot better than the last ones, and he posts a status on facebook saying he wants riders for the company, and that he will be offering a signature part. after seeing these new posts, i contacted rhino saying how i liked their new parts and that i wanted a sig deck. he said ok, and to turn in all the designs for it the next day. i did and he said they were "sick af". so for a few days i wait to see what was going to happen with my deck, and i contacted him about it. he said that he wanted me to call somebody else. so i did and i started becoming very confused. then this happened.

i was never hyped for this brand btw, and i was only in it for the sig deck. i was actually thinking raymond warner's "dont ride for a company if you dont like ALL their parts" when talking with them.

yes i know, cool story bro. i just felt like sharing this.

Yeah, anybody that recieves a request from them should deny it and avoid talking to them. they are very, very unprofessional
