Hoping to expand your resources by getting professional sponsorship for your motocross activities? It's about more than just winning races!
Many motocross sponsors care just as much about how you present yourself as they do about how many races you win, although winning certainly doesn't hurt. Mainly they don't want their motocross company name associated with any negative connotation. You need to ride responsibly and conduct yourself decently so you are a good representative for the sport as well as your sponsor. With that in mind, let's take a look at the basic steps for obtaining your own motocross sponsor.
Your Resume
You need to compile a well written record of who you are and your past motocross achievements, as well as upcoming races you are participating in. Give details about yourself that will help your potential sponsor get a feel for who you are, and provide photos of yourself in action as well as any media coverage you may have received. Include any other past or present motocross sponsors you may have. Don't forget your contact information!
Contacts
If you've been racing a while, you probably have some kind of relationship with the motocross supplier you get your gear from. This is a good place to seek your initial motocross sponsorship from. From here, you can build your reputation and hopefully expand your sponsorship base to other motocross companies.
Live Up To Your Deal
The old saying goes: "If you talk the talk, you've gotta walk the walk", or in this case ride the ride. Remember that you must always present yourself in a positive light because everything you do and say reflects on your motocross sponsor. Unprofessional or un-sportsman like behavior will certainly lose you the motocross sponsorship deal you've worked so hard to get.
Hope this info gives you what you need to start working on your own motocross sponsorship deal.
