ya because if thats true then EVERY PRO would be a sellout.

I didn't say if your sponsored your a sellout! If a company is willing to pay your way then fine. If you get a discount to agree to support a companies vision (Contract Consumer) your a sellout.

ya but isn't that contract consumer thing the same thing as being sponsered?

Guest · Posted: Mar 30, 2004 6:32 pm Post subject:

Nope.
Contract Consumer Its like paying someone to let you advertize for them. The company expends no capital ($$$$) on you but you agree to help them make money off you.

When your sponsored the company expends capital ($$$$) to help you to reach a goal that puts you in the spotlight thus helping the company to make money off of you.

See the difference?

ya but everyone advertizes for a company. if u buy a casset board and go skate it and ppl see you on it your advertizing it there too. so really a contract consumer is jus some one gettin a discount on something other ppl pay full price for.

A Contract Consumer Buys what the company of affilation is selling without choice.

A Consumer has no affiliation to the company and can decide what they want to buy based on there own choice.

i totaly understand what ur saying but what wrong with sigining a contract to exclusivly buy one product if u toaly beleive in the company and like there stuff? I mean if worse comes to worse you just quit

i would sign a contract with hyperlite, LF, cassette, kampus, obrien (traffics), or 484 and as long as i got good discounts i wouldnt ride anything else. IDK bout the rest of yall but i dont really care what kind of board im ridin as long as it rides good. i dont really care about "special little features" that slightly enhance ur ridin... i.e. assyms, i dont care bout grip or foam, dont care bout rocker, or length or width or thickness (ply), dont care bout wood or composite... i just want a rideable board with a low price tag... my 2¢

haha, yeah its good in asense but to some people it doesnt work for them. I myself can get good deals without some sort of sponsor thing and its good deals on likebasically everything so to me its stupid to go for something like that.

i get most my stuff from jd webb but lately hes been busy and i kinda feel like a burden so im tryin to buy more and get stuff from him less, so a sponsor could really help. specially a shop sponsor

IDK if burden was the right word but o well

Catalyst, the bad thing about this Consumer Contractor is that you can buy one company's product and only that companies.

I wouldn't really say your sponsored Parky. More how jd described it "Contracted Consumer", the company is still making money off you. I have a shop that gives me 10%-20% off merchandise, does that mean I'm sponsored by them? I dont think so.

Steven M · Posted: Apr 03, 2004 12:24 pm Post subject:

if your worried about beinbg able to buy only one companys stuff with the contract consumer thing. then just get a shop sponsership.
