brian, as soon as I get the funds, I'm dropping one of these things into a 440 hull, w/ a skat 750 pump conversion....lol

my point is, if you're sponsored by companies as a professional, you don't come out of pocket to participate in events that they want their products represented at.

I'm sure they have other "professions", but when your on tour, when do you have time to work? how are you paying your bills and eating and living without sponsorship?

that's not true. there is a difference between "pro-class" and an actual professional. racing in pro class just means you're good enough to. it doesn't mean you're sponsored by companies and getting paid to represent their products. if you have a rich uncle that wants to see you race, that...

lol good one, steve. :bow28:

I really am at a loss as to how you did not understand what I wrote, corey. have you not heard that there are people that carry two or three professions, or even more? you could be a professional at ten different things, while also having the skill level to ride pro-ski, and if you aren't...

what makes someone a "pro" as in "professional" is when their skill level gets to a certain degree to where a company sponsors them, and they do it for a living. just because someone has a pro level of skill, doesn't mean that they're pro, it just means that their good enough to be. until it...

when you give someone a present, it's not because they control you. she told me it wouldn't matter one way or the other if I cut it or not, but I know how she really feels about it, and so I leave it alone. it's not a "control" issue.

that's BS, it boils down to a "mismanagement" of money.

dude!! wtf!?!?

yeah, but she's right, it has nothing to do with the topic.

well of course, what the hell kind of question is that?....LOL chicks just like pulling on things, period. it doesn't necessarily have to be your hair.

well, I would really like to cut my hair, charlie, especially in the summer, but my wife likes it, so I'm willing to deal with it. that's how we treat each other. who is "corky"?

I consider him a very "underpaid" professional. his sponsors need to match his skill level with their sponsorship. although, as I've stated before, there's a lot that needs to be done politically with the sport, in order to fix that problem.

don't laugh bro, you have one, too. she posts on here almost every day.:laugh2:

yes sir, the woman won't let me cut it, either. trust me, I tried. :hail:

agreed.

lol

not trying to derail the "sponsorship" conversation, or get into a pissin' match with you over it, but there's no "could be" about it. I've seen too much negative crap result from the use of alcohol, and I am completely against it, other than it being used as a topical antiseptic, or used as...

I remember that whole scenario. didn't you have to drill the thing out just to get the mounting holes to line up?
