Are you ready for shows, sponsors and teams
What do you guys think is the bare minimum to be considered ready to do shows, get sponsors or be part of a team??? I know a couple of cats that just learned to ride BP and scrape staggered and think they are ready for sponsors, teams, shows etc...

Re: Are you ready for shows, sponsors and teams
LOL!
if you have to ask your probably not ready...
its all in your head, you are how you act..
pro's dont question their pro-ism! haha..
seriously though if your talking stunts i think its not so much the tricks its the style, and quoting teach "its all about consistency" add in reliability and safety in there and your golden!

Re: Are you ready for shows, sponsors and teams
I think in order to be ready for any of that you need to have a pretty high level of riding. At least to the point to where your in control. If you just learned the brake or are barely learning circles you have no business performing shows. The problem with our sport is that a lot of kids think they deserve the world when in reality they dont deserve ****. They go out and try and book shows and get sponsors and just end up becoming a liability when they mess up at shows and burn bridges with sponsors that leave a sour taste about our sport. I say know your role. The top guys have all put in their time and a ton of work to get where they are. If your just starting you have a long road ahead of you.

Re: Are you ready for shows, sponsors and teams
You gotta be able to entertain a crowd and put on a good show, you can't do that if you only got a couple tricks up your sleeve. You also wanna show ppl what stunting is about and not make stunters look bad you know
Ridin BP staggered scrapes is not enough IMO to be doin shows and asking for sponsorships.
