No matter what is said here, you are always going to have no skill riders trying to act like the best and good riders getting **** on. There will always someone doing a show cheaper and someone trying to steal sponsors, bad mouth you, use you, wreck it for everyone else. Its more important that you as a rider can keep a sponsor, can keep safe, ride like the dickens and can do a good job, you have to give the sponsors more then the last and dont make mistake that some one else did to lose a sponsor,
