Sponsorhouse


Hmm... interesting topic. When Brendan invited me here, I was trying to not only learn more about track riding, but get to a point I could sponsor the board, which I am known for everyday low pricing for riders on boards so theres no real need to "sponsor" any one or two etc, riders. I don't pull enough sales to give shit to racers, but selling at cost + shipping (normally 20-30% off MSRP) is a thing that has worked in the past... of course with your first order a couple business cards are tossed in there, and some decals for my company... but never heard anything back on this...

Imagine this, on another board I sponsor right now, I am raffling off a set of carrozzeria wheels, these fit probably 95% of the 2003 and newer bikes on this site! from Ducati to Yamaha its there. Ticket price is $10, so for a dime bag you could win a set of wheels, with sprocket, assembled, lighter and stronger than stock. I've raffled off 3 sets of wheels so far, 2 sets of Galfer Wave Rotors w/ pads etc.. on top of that, again I rarely if ever sell at MSRP or w/in 5% of it. Anywho. Enjoy the sponsor searching, it sucks. It took me 4months of daily prowling for sponsors when I lived in Hawaii to find willing sponsors for Drag Racing, but after all the turn downs, you learn more about character and perseverance.
