First off don't get all pissy cause you love his current "core" sponsors, but lets be real they aren't BIg Time, with Big money.

So this year was really his "breakout year" with his winning the dew tour at N* and invitation to JOSS.   I think he is now officially recognized as one of the top ten skiers in the game now. His commersical appeal is undeniable.  So when is he gonna get a deal with a big outerwear and NRG drink company? 

Do you think he still has to prove he will stay at a high level; he has only been "the king of steeze" for what like 2 1/2 years?  


I think he will keep amplid cause he has input in the skis.  he should keep keep Fulltilt no explanation neccessary.  keep spy.  but try to pick up everything else.   

Imagine if Sessions picked up wallisch and made the "hyphy" suit.  kids would go nuts.


Just my snow-less thoughts

I think Sweet Protection is a pretty big brand in Europe, they sponsored a pretty high profile big-air event in conjunction with JOSS, I also think Amplid might be bigger in Europe, since they seem to have a pretty large advertising budget, and they sell at multiple retailers in North America. I would not be surprised if Amplid was owned by a bigger company, and if they aren't, they obviously are doing something right because they have expanded their line over the last few years and as stated seem to have a lot of resources. He also is sponsored by SCOTT for poles and Spy goggles, so those are two big companies.

Fuck no.. If tom gets offered a nice 5 or 6 figure contract with an energy drink company he better take it..

Tom should make his own website like tomwallisch.com or something and put up 1 or 2 videos a month, then just keep track of the insane amount of views his videos will get. kinda like what jon is doing with supersessions.. That will definitely open some doors with big sponsors.

In scandinavia Sweet's outerwear isn't that much more expensive than say Arcteryx, Norrøna, Whiteout, Bergans etc, which makes outerwear comparable to Sweet.

To the guy who made this thread, you are very naive, just because tom's outerwear company is not from America does not mean they are a small company. Sweet has some of the best riders in a ton of sports riding for them because overall they make by far the bet helmets on the market. all carbon fiber and retail at 400$ us currency. to leave a company like sweet for someone like sessions or saga or any other American company would be completely retarded. and Sweet is HUGE in Europe and Norway.

He's hooked up in every area... but no energy drink company.

all the big pro's have some energy drink company, rockstar, redbull or monster.  Everyone in here is talking about redbull, wouldn't surprise me at all if twall went on redbulls team.

If he really signs with them. Which i bet will happen. This article pretty much seals it. You don't see many non-redbull athletes get this much cred. Bet they nab him while he's hot (which could be anytime in the next century cause that steeze never dies)

Tom seems to have a realy good setup from every differernt angle, and if som of them are paying badly, an energy drink sponsor should give him some extra money in the pocket!

And btw its not exatly true that sweet sponsors Sweet Rumble, Sweet Rumble is and always has been sweets own comp, and they are huge over here, and have a lot of up and comers like PC Fosse, Elvis Harsheim and Jens Gunhildrud!

Their also a ski, snowboard and water-rafting company, and this year their getting into security eguipment as survival suits and so on! i dont think the are going down any time soon!

and plus, theirs stuff is the shit! always has been, always will be!!!
