Yah!! I've been there done that to.

Best way to get crazy deals is join a Team IMO. Or a frame company, they always can get good deals on stuff.

Theres really no teams I can join without having to travel daily/weekly for like an hour.

I hope to work for my local shop when Im 16 though so I get discounts...they always hook there workers up.

Hope you have a good season,

working at a shop is a lot ****ing harder than you think as a 16 year old. make friends with the shop rats, and the owner, race for a year of so on your own, post up some results, and ask the shop for some deals if you throw on their jersey. i was into sponsorhouse for a lil while until i got my shop deal, now im still on sponsorhouse, but it's a lot lamer, and i only accept deals that are better than my shop prices, which are hard to come by on sponsorhouse. BTW, without results or a lot of faltering pics, the dicounts wont be that big, but sunringle gives out pretty nice dicounts

I think I can handle working at a shop. The one I want to work at is kinda a locals jewl, all the freeriders and downhillers go there. But there is also a big name store that everyone else goes to. Everytime I go into the shop I want to work at though, its relatively empty, so service will be relatively easy.

But yeah, I only accept deals that will actually help me. Like if I dont plan on buying it in the first place, I dont bother with the sponsor, Unless of course I get free stuff from them *I wont name which :-)*.

And as for the pictures, I have a ton of pictures and have made a few videos...plus Im working on my Eagle scout, so sponsors tend to be nice :-D
