how did you get sponsored dude is it be cos you do comps, or did you jus send in a couple of videos to companies

Yeah, i got sponsored by doing competitions( best way), gettting good results, being seen, ......writing to some companys, telling them what results you've had / what you can do for them etc.

:P(Y)

I must not ride enough! :D over 4 and a bit years of various disiplines ive broken:

3 chains (one was off my new £70 get around bike lol)

1 rear shimano freewheel

2 BB's

1 pair of pedals

1 cheese rim (again, £70 get around bike)

2 v brake noodles

apart from that all i can think of is consumables, ie brake pads, cables and the like, also worn out various chains and cassettes, but not broken them. I do try and keep my bikes in tip-top condition though.

curtis forks, tuning forks, onza rear hub, atomlab rim, d521, several mechs, hangers obviously, formula disc rotor, few grimeca brake callipers, maguras, snapped a v....., several sus forks, pig headset, monty stem, loads of chains, loads of square taper bbs, few deore cranks, bust middlebruns (Y), dmr v8s, shindigs-prob more broken but i cant remember-to be fair im not surprised by alot of them-the only products there that were truly wank for me were curtis forks and maguras-the others had good reason to die

now i break far less stuff-modern components have come a long way (Y)
