If a major company is looking to sponsor you, and they as you the simple question, "why do you want to ride for us" what do you tell them? Obviously for the free shit, but what are some more reasonable answers?

because you respect them and their products and would like to use your abilities to help advertise for them.

Because you want to influence the sport you so dearly love into a positive direction!

Return their question with another question. "Who else would I ski for?" they will either say good point, or there are plenty other good company's. You respond by pointing out in what ways you like their products/why they have a leg up on the competition. Everybody enjoys complements.

A good answer is "Because I am passionate about my skiing, and passionate about the gear I use. I want to represent that which I am passionate about in a way that works well for both of us."
