i may of just picked up a vinyl graphics ( wraps ) sponsor. i am trying to approcah it with a little bit of professionalism. basically i dont know how they'd feel about me hittin streets with there company's name all over my bike? i have spots were im cleared to ride. i also ride in a somewhat populated area and im the best stunter in my town. ( maybe cause im the only that tries anymore :jerkit: ).
so what do you guys do? hit streets still? hit more of your "approved" spots? i understand that stunting specific companies may not care but this company is a local vinyl cutting and graphics and screenprinting business, someone may see me rip by in a SS one day and then look for a screen printing shop to make shirts for their sons baseball team i notice that the same companies name was on my bike... and then not do business because of how i represented the company. theyve mostly done work for local car clubs and bike clubs with t-shirt and custom work for people that have designed there own clothes. as for graphics again its mostly car and bike vinyl for painters to apply clear over.
just wondering some peoples take on it.

I think you pretty much answered your own question. If your on the streets, you run the risk of portraying your sponser's in the wrong light. Maybe you should discuss this aspect with them. If they're cool with it and not worried then I say Murder the streets!!!

personally if you went to your sponsor and said you only ride in designated areas such as parking lots drag strips comps and shows only. then yeah i think they might look at you wrong. but its called a STREETbike for a reason, for the streets.
my sponsor`s know i ride the streets once in awhile so there name is portrayed good and bad but
good or bad publicity either way you look at it it still is publicity
worse comes to worse put duct tape over your sponsors name if you ride the streets

gotta get attention. im not that good but im the only halfway decent stunter around here thats serious.
plus you gotta get attention. the more people who know you or see you the more people see the company logo. sponsorships are jsut like advertising.

haha. crtch you helped alot and i give credit where credit is due.
especially on the sitdowns (even tho i still barely ever do em) with body position and what not. No one here to even close to somewhat guide me now. ive surpassed almost every rider in fort wayne. the guy that is better is unfortuntely developed a substance abuse problem. hid gxxr sits tore the fuck down. kinda sad. dude was killing HCs and spreaders all day long without a handbrake and like +5 gearing.
i like to ride. haha...
and dude dont think just because we got deals your going to get a wrap for like $20. its kinda rude. i believe in paying somone for the product they put out at a fair price. nothing is free in this world...lol
