Wink Lets face it. if these pros didn’t have factory sponsorships the money that they would be making would cover their expenses. Then were would they be making a living and paying the normal living expenses. I’ve been ticked off for years at the marketing of bmxracing. The bike companies year ago were able to send their riders all over to every nathional by flying and going on tour in the summer spending a hefty knot. Because they where all making the money to have a big teams because the sport was ding so well. Know the sport has almost no tv coverage. In 83 espn had the pro spectacular. in the 90’s the road to glory series which they would showcase some of the amature classes. now there is nothing but the uci supercross on the dew tour.
thanks for starting this site. now I can vent my frustrations and ideas.
