So yesterday Corey posted this on his insta, saying that hes now looking for a ski sponsor and is asking who people could see him riding for. Its too bad, I thought he fit damn well with Faction as he kills it on
another level.

So, where does NS think hes gonna go to?

ParryWithAnATC seams "slow" because we wanted to focus on longer mini movieS not just pushing put edits.

And how the he'll has Line slowed down this year?

- TC
- Tom
- #linespringbrake2015
- Tell a Friend Tour!
- Not to mention all the individual edits riders make.
- Eric's stuff
- Dozens of demos by reps

Ski brand teams kinda do have a sort of profile though. Like quite a lot of them just don't sponsor people who focus mainly on competition and then there are some which are the opposite. Some brands tend to work with riders more focused on certain aspects of skiing others seem to like skiers who project a certain attitude. So in my opinion not all ski company's have a fit for their team but a lot definitely seem to. Would like to hear from an actual team manager if it is something they consider.

Line would be sick since him and Max have the park etiquette series.

I think Armada should grab him uo though like they did with Hornbeck back when he left Liberty.

For real though Faction fucked up, they didn't even have him on the national team and he's one of the GOATs of the sport.

It probably does a little more than you'd think. Just like in a job interview - if you have a buddy at the company they can help you cut through the masses of applications as well as pre-prepare the internal people that you'd be a good fit for the position.

Sure it doesn't happen all the time, but having friends / people you ride with at the company definitely makes a difference.

I agree entirely but it's not the biggest reason. I think I mentioned in another post that it must influence a sponsorship a bit

It totally depends on the situation. For sure the athlete has to be a fit with the company for it to work, but insider influence is huge.

Teams aren't a vacuum where there is no communication with the marketing people. Its a very symbiotic thing where *most of the time* everyone is involved in these types of decisions. Companies who know what they're doing involve the team in as many decisions as they are able.

Of course, this is not always the case, and it depends on the company - but I can guarantee you the team not being involved is the exception vs. the rule.
