not necessarily you could be terrible but very entertaining and have thousands of followers. sponsors want views and people looking at there product

You should also consider that unlocking that side of the game might ultimately lead to losing the fun in biking because you suddenly have lots of obligations and other things to take care of. It’s not just riding bikes anymore.

I've had sponsorship when I raced RC it's much the same with most sponsorships regardless of the sport. It's crucial to a brand that you are approachable because you are pushing their profile as much as your own, so no throwing a towel over your kit if someone asks about it, tell people how good it is. Also most sponsorship isn't cash or freebies, it just means they offer a deal to buy their latest products or spares at the trade price or a reduced price & the option to buy direct, but the brand will always expect something in return. A lot of that is a criteria of conditions such as what events you should enter (at your own cost) plus what you wear when photographed etc and also a requirement for you to prove your value by sending them results or details of how you have promoted them or referring customers if you want to keep them on board. Either way, a sponsor on a CV will open up new avenues as well as looking impressive and the more you understand how sponsorship works, will make finding the next sponsorship opportunity easier.

After blurring the lines between work and pleasure several times in my life- I would avoid the bike industry like the plague and find a normal job with as high pay as possible. Use the money to ride whatever bike you want, when you want. Keep your life simple and passions sacred.

Being a pro rider where your physical health is so important, Do you have health insurance? I understand in the UK you have the socialized health care i.e. NHS. But is that enough for a pro rider like yourself to get you back to performance asap. I imagine it's harder to negotiate sponsorship deals for the following year if you're out with a torn ACL etc. I always worry about serious injuries because what if I have a kid on the way, and I wreck huge. If I can't work, and the missus is preggers, how am I going to put food on the table? Sorry for sounding like a parent, but this is stuff I think everyone starts to worry about the older we get.
