Sponsorship

[Vatic]

I know that nearly everyone in the tricking scene doesn’t like the idea of ppl tricking for profit, but I have recently been offered sponsorship for me and my team, they want to buy us shoes and cloths and stuff and have set us up a gig as part of a charity event. I have for now agreed, but I would like to know what u guys think of this.

Do it man!

theres nothing wrong for getting paid for doing what you love, as long as you arent trying to promote whoever it is you're being sponsored by saying that their products give you the ability to do what you do.

congratulations man, you should be proud that you're getting that level of interest!

[k-slash]

Good work man, good work !

[taylorrr]

yea dude awesome! congrats

wat u shodl do next is create a herb sports drink 2 promote and change the name of trickgin 2 somethign esle and promote that as ur own as well!

:P

[Skippy]

Go for it man, and have a good time, nothing wrong with earning money doing what you love. Just don't start doing tricking for the only reason of making money =]

Nice avatar k slash :O

[JiayoJames]

Do it and don't listen to anyone who tells you not to. Congrats!

[The Trooper]

You're living the dream now :tongue:

Ohh and congratulations! That'd be so sweet. How did they come to sponsor you in the first place? *evil scheme commencing*

Edit: You live in Perth? Whereabouts? I might go and watch. :smile:
Edit2: Ohh hey Joel! Hmm I don't think you'll remember me so I won't bother explaining. Have you been to Ying's lately?

[Marodi]

im hell for it...that would b like....my dream!

[Ernest]

I'd love to do that. It's all good, as long as you don't go Eigo.

[Dec88]

Yeah totally go for it. Plus you're not really getting paid to trick, more like getting some stuff for working at a charity event. Don't let people tell you you are a sell out, unless you are....

[Lloydy?!]

oi man thats sick, where abouts? got any room for ppl to join in :P i would def take it, i dont care if its paid or not. its pretty much forcing you to trick and wat not. cant think of a better option. but as every1 else said dont go eigo on it :tongue:

[Marodi]

hey hold on..ur from perth! thats right :p what the name of ur team and stuff? r u possibly recruiting?

[Skilzat85X]

Do it!

It doesn't matter if you're getting paid to trick or if it's charity, do it! There's nothing wrong with it, morally ethically or anything. It's your skills that you've trained for and earned so have the right to use them in whatever way you want.

There's nothing wrong with getting money from tricks, as long as your not an extortioner trying to just get people money with it, in which case it'd be wrong whether it was tricking or something else haha.

Wow that’s a good response, dw I wont go promote Noni Juice. Its 3 months till the show (August the 10th) at the Perth Concert Hall for those who are in Perth. For now no we are not recruiting but it doesn’t have to stop you from trying. Lloydy I was under the impression that you were removed/left TBL? If you guys want to "try out" come to Hyde park in mt. Lawley on Tuesdays from about 6:30pm (yet again for the ppl in Perth) I cant say we will let you join but if u r good enough we might be swayed, if not it will be nice to trick with you anyway.

The way we got the sponsorship we were just doing some 3running around mt. Lawley and guy in a cafe knew what we were doing and loved the sport but he was to old to do it himself, I showed him some Tricking clips from TT (Juji some of this is your cause as well, ROD was the clip I showed him). Turns out he owns a Computing Business that is doing very well and he is well connected he sent down a Manager he knows and he hooked us up with the gig and with the IT guy backing us we are on our way.

Its funny I have learnt a new move every day I have tricked since the news, its got me fucking hyped! Reverse Sideswipes FTW!

p.s. I am actually making a point of telling ppl Eigo is a fraud! I FUCKING HATE THAT GUY!

Congrats! My team is still working on getting sponsored, there are a few who want to but not till next year. Great job man!

[Flowers]

Congrats! 1 small step towards helping tricksters trick a little more easily.

My gym sponsors me. I'm starting to put a TumbleX logo and wear a tumbleX shirt when I trick at the end of my videos and I never have to pay for sessions ever.

[sesshoumaru]

Vatic...you should figure out why they want to sponsor you.

[Flowers]

Vatic...you should figure out why they want to sponsor you.

Most likely to sell out tricking and the whole community...lol jk

[Lloydy?!]

hahaha man this is hilarious. seeing as i was actually the person who started up your whole team :tongue: i was the original founder of black light :tongue:. meh im happy with. in all truth i never actually left, i just never got in contact with the other ppl coz every1 lived too far away for me to bother lol

[Vatic]

I know why he wants to sponsor us, its because he loves the sport but has left it too late in his life to do it to the extent that he wishes he could, so he is living the life that he wished he could have had through me and my team.

Lloydy come down to Hyde Park and trick with us there as I said b4 its on Tuesday nights from 6:30pm till very late. It wouldnt seem unreasonable to let you rejoin. (we kinda have room for 2 more ppl, but we dont have to have 2, SHOW US WHAT U GOT PERTH!)

[Lloydy?!]

hmm ill prolly go down one time and take it easy, im training up for the gathering, and just bust out all these new moves. im so pissed atm tho, it took me from the time i started tricking till yesterday that i spin and twist different ways so i have to re-learn my kicks and shit :dead::agony:
