Re: We are all sellouts!
but up until a few weeks ago you would have recommended NJK leathers
and dont get your panities in a wad clint, Im just making a point.
There is a huge difference between using a product you get free and saying thier name on the podium, than actually going on a forum and saying their **** is the best
we all know arai makes the best helmets... period but someone who gets free helmets from HJC would get on here and try to say they are the best
I personally own a scorpion, That I didnt pay for and when I talk about it I say "Its not an arai, but its a great helmet with a lot of cool features for an inexpensive price"
Jackets??? dude they are probably almost all equal in quality, protection etc.
Brake lines and rotors?? yeah they are the same
Brake pads, personal preference.. I would not take a sponsorship from a company that I didnt like or believe in their product
sunglasses?? come on, they are overpriced peices of plastic, I have had spys on in more magazine photos and on TV than I can count... and those ************* wont even email me back, its ok though, I got a pair of dragons that fit my fat head better now
Exhaust pipes?? on stuntbikes?? no comment there, good for anyone who gets sponsored, you can say whoever you want is the best
tires??? hmmmm maxxis sponsors some riders and we all know maxxis tires suuuuuck
those of you who can roll long stoppies, you obviously have a favorite front tire... if you could get free tires from a company that you didnt like, would you do it??? I wouldnt

Re: We are all sellouts!
Were all officially sellouts...some of us sold out for $$$ and the rest sold out for some discounts or free product..
look at every thread that asks about any product..
what handbrake?
what cage?
what jacket?
what shoes?
what sprockets?
now look at all the replies in those threads
we suck

Re: We are all sellouts!
great topic Thomas , was thinkn the same thing today, what makes me laugh is when someone post up and asks for opinions and suddenly the guy with some pos lot bike is an expert and has all the answers yet he has only been riding for a short amount of time . whats sad is when someone gets 20% off retail price and they go out whoring themselves by promoting this product and claim they are being sponsored. umm.... yeah.. if you cant walk into into your local bike shop and get 20% knocked off the price you aint trying hard enough. as for sponsors if they are not paying expenses or putting cash in my pocket there stickers will proudly be displayed on my garage wall. I run one sticker on my bike , its for my sponsor RedlineCycles in NewJersey ., I know im going a little off topic here but I love my OMR subcage , ESD pegs and Gearedsteel sprockets and paid full price and have no obligations to these people so if a better product comes out that will replace any of these I will get it. One more thing I 4got what DSOG stands for
Anyone that dosent get a cheque from these so called sponsors are really just trying to brag, in the end your still a CIRCUS CARNI!!!

Re: We are all sellouts!
My response was supposed to be a little humorous. NJK leathers was great company and I am flattered that you remembered!
In all seriousness as stunting moves forward it gives some riders the opportunity to represent products. It has given me the chance to meet some great people in the motorcycle industry and have made some really good friends out of it.

Re: We are all sellouts!
Where the hell is Schwartz's old "D-list" for sponsorships when you need it.
Oh yea, BTW.....I'd like to say that Speedway makes the best coffee, Dasani has the best water and 3M has the best post-it notes. That is all.....

However, wasn't this you, a few years ago?
Exhibit A:
Notice the Ecko sticker and Freestyle Ingenuity decal on tank accentuating the employment of an FI cage.
Exhibit B:
Ecko jeans and Ecko sticker.
Exhibit C:
Further evidence of promotion of products.
So tell me, which one were you back then: "the *****" or "the guy with some pos lot bike"?
Oh and don't try to deny that its you
I'd also like to submit, Exhibit D, "as you can see... I was there":
Love you mucho! I'm making your favorite ravioli's for dinner.

Re: We are all sellouts!
I rock no sponsor that I don't believe in their product and doesn't believe in me to keep it real.
Ex: MXD has a really good product, but they have the worse customer service EVER! Is it really worth the wait?? See and find out... haha...

Nah, trust me, Gil is predictable right down to the color of underwear he's wearing. He's gonna come home from work, walk the wiener dog and then sit down in front of the computer and read this thread while I prepare dinner. Upon which, he's gonna chuckle and say "Is dinner ready?" about 10 times.
