Sponsorship

Well, as you may have figured, Motocross is no cheap sport. Whether is be protective equipment or new parts for the bike, it all costs money. Luckily I have been able to get hooked up through a sponsorship website. While they don't hand out paychecks like the pros get, everything they do to help cut the cost of riding really helps.

In May 2009 I discovered a website called Sponsorhouse. It is basically a website for athletes that gives them direct access to companies looking to help them out in what ever sport they participate in. I signed up with little expectation based on my experience at the time but was pleasantly surprised when I received my first offer.

Steel Mx Optics was the first company to sponsor me. And then came Panolin (Performance oils/lubes) and Factory Backing (Graphics). After that things kinda died down and I didn't have any offers for a while.

O'neal was the first company I sent an application to. When they sent me my offer, I was quick to pick up my first set of gear. I then applied for O.D.I. who deals with both motocross and mountain biking grips.

Torc1Racing sent me an offer just recently and I have added their products to my bike.

MTW Design Services (HVAC and Plumbing Design) has been added just recently along with my title sponsor Two Wheelers Graphics Company.

I would like to say thanks to all of my sponsors for every little bit that they help out. If anybody would like to help out, feel free to contact me on here or by email: michaelswheeler@comcast.net
