I was just looking at the thread on the homepage about the kids who are competeing at the YGO and at least 6 or seven have full hook ups including skis, but probobally no real contract and i was wondering what level of sponsorship you have to be at to not be eligable to compete. Good luck to all the competitors, and i cant wait to see some footage from the event..

i think anyone can compete, but if they win and accept the prizes they have to give up former sponsors

this is the deal... there isnt really a level of sponsorship that is a cut off or anything. if you win, its all or nothing, you take every sponsor contract and every trip or you take nothing at all. So it doesnt make sense for athletes who are already getting paid to go back down to a 1 year probably flow contract... so tecnically TJ shiller could compete, but not only would he get nothing out of it because there is no way he would leave a paying Anon/REd/Armada/Orage contracts for non paying Siver/Line/Scott and Level contracts... plus he would take the spot away from somebody else... so those sponsored athletes competing think that by winning they will be better off than they are now...

duncan adams yes...matt walker no

if walker wins,he rides for siver(so he doesnt lose his clothing sponsor), scott(doesnt lose his eyewear sponsor), and he doesnt have a ski sponsor right now so, he has nothing to lose....o ya, and hes gonna kill all you little fuckers hahaha

walker doesn't ski for liberty anymore, he dropped them after he broke like 389374 pairs ina week. maybe someone else will pick him up, good luck matt, and get you're head in the game.

dude, wickes, fiji was manufactured in a bad factory, its good you left. the bottle press mold was horrible, the bottle always delamed on me. and the caps were cheap plastic, you should go to evian, they are a core company for sure... really in touch with us xtreme water drinkers

Levi, you have it wrong too, its all about voss. I have yet to try it because it is like 12 dollars per bottle, but it looks pretty steller in the water industry, and the plastic problem with fiji is no longer a problem because the bottles are glass
