You know, the "sponsorship offers" are just going to be like 10-20% off, which you could most likely get by just calling the companies on the phone

It is legit, but the sponsorships are probably less that if you were to individually contact companies you wish to do business with this next year. I signed up my 4 yo a couple of yeasr ago and the first offer was from an energy drink. Make no mistake, you can get help, but is it somewhat limited. Did you thoroughly view all of the participating companies and are they ones you would benefit from? Legitimate question, dont let the thread hijackers discourage you. Good luck.

I had it when I was riding. Got some decent deals out of it for sure. Depending on what youre needing though it may not be worth it. If you really need a bunch of new stuff its probably worth it, but if you just wanna update some little stuff then its really not.

I used it our first year as well. It was a foot in the door for some of the companies we use. Now we just contact them directly, as we have an established relationship. You'll get your $50 back if you actually buy equipment. We got some decent offers from some good companies and it was a help. Then if you perform and go back to the companies, the next year you may even get a bigger bump.

mxsponsor is legit, this is how the sponsors like to do business and sometimes it costs to get the services, It's a good deal!

it's a great way to bypass the Local Dealers and help with the continuing demise of independent shops.

Since everyone strives to pay more for the same product, right?

You get out of it what you put in. Funny I get requests from some that have put zero effort into the profile....no races listed....no profile.....no future plans......ZERO...and that is what they get back.

Good point. Same with Hookit or any resume you send out. No pics, no thought, just asking for money. It does take a little effort on your part and a lot of sponsors want motnhly race reports and picture of your rider with their gear.

Why do idiots that ride dirtbikes feel 'entitled' to sponsors? Seriously....unless you are lining up for a Pro SX or National....why should a company give you a deal?



Does Joe Golfer call Nike because he plays golf on Sunday and enters the club tourney...and shoots a fabulous 97?

You are paying for nothing, the bottom line is if you are fast enough to get free stuff they will find you. If you pay $50 to mxsponsors you are a sucker.

or maybe you can be fast and get 40% discount on oils and tires and stuff like that which you (at least me) spend ALOT of money into it every year... i don't care to be going around telling people that im sponsored, i just want to reduce the cost of doing what i love and if there are ways to do it, you are a sucker if you dont at least give them a try

You should be able to get the same discounts on your own without paying $50 to mxsponsors. But go ahead and give them your $50 and you will feel much better.Enjoy your discount on kenda tires and lucas oil.

I am going to completely disagree with 500Guy and DD. Especially you DD, I can't believe that you are agreeing with 500guy, I guess it's been easy to sell product when there's market demand and no sales effort needed (well, I am not talking about Sano, but Spy or HJcrappyC): it is not Hookit (previously sponsorhouse.com) nor MXSponsor that "help with the continuing demise of independent shops", they didn't even remotely started the process.

2 things created the "demise of the independent shops", the consumers, YOU, YOU DIRT DUDES, and of course, the Internet. More so in dirt than in street, the consumers are always asking for bigger and better deals. Street guys go into a shop and look at what their budget can afford them and go for it. Whether it is a $169 lid or a $600 one, dirt guys want the $600 at the $169 cost and make a big point of it. This website is the best proof with weekly post on where to get the cheapest Shoei where and on and on.

So you the consumers favored and financed the growth of Internet retailers like BTO, Motosport, Motocross Giant, etc, etc. You guys go there just to save the sales tax and save even only $5 box at times. Why do you buy grips online instead of going to your local dealer?? I get direct emails every day from riders asking for a deal on the products we sell.

Results: YOU THE CONSUMERS, go to your local dealers to try products in order to find the right size before purchasing online.
Consequence: the dealers don't want to stock, cannot stock, don't take risks on products that are not mega mainstream (Leatt entered the market by going direct, straight to the Amateur racing scene at a time when dealers didn't want to take risks and stock some, even 1 - results is dealers were running after Leatt like flies on fresh shit after it exploded through direct marketing and sales, Jason and Geoff going to all races and tracks possible.)

If the dealers don't want to stock products that they are "obligated" to stock through the 3 major distributors that rule the market, then they won't want to invest into a product and get a size run or display samples. We have even had to give FREE samples for display to dealers to generate sales (when a consumer sees a product and tries it, feels it, it's a big step towards a sale). And even then, when sales were happening, some of these dealers didn't stock, just benefiting from the zero investment sales they were getting.

One of the big 3 distributors has even pushed the vice further by taking over some big size dealerships, putting everything on consignment only with products from house-brands. What choice does the consumer have in these dealerships. How do you want to work in such an environment if you don't go direct to the consumer. If dealers don't want to stock and invest in your products, why should it stay in your warehouses, why should your development go nowhere?

Fox are perfect example of successful brands gone direct to the consumers, generate enough sales to generate a descent size marketing budget and advertise it so much that the dealers have no other option but stock some to make the sales. Fox even puts products on sales on their website and leave dealers with no other choice than reduce their margins by doing the same... 5 or 6 months after said dealer has invested in stock.


MXSponsor, Sponsorhouse.com are just direct-marketing/sales channels to reach the consumer and give them the opportunity to afford racing. It's a win-win situation for the brand and the consumer. If brands develop a strong enough stocking-dealer network, and a stronger presence at tracks, they can always reconsider their budget and decide how much they want to sell directly.

In a time when independent dealers had real sales person, instead of the gum-chewing chick that doesn't say hi, has no idea what the product is about and doesn't say bye when you leave because she's texting, they were the best medium to reach and influence consumers and sales.

Today, that thing the Internet, the economical situation (that ain't coming back any time soon so don't keep waiting for it) forcing people in looking for deals 24/7 and dealers trying to survive by spending as little as possible in stock, all these parameters and a few more, are changing the way business is done.

So as much as brands need to support local dealers with all sorts of you-don't-take-any-risk-at-all-let-us-spend-millions-in-development-and-production-and-advertising-and-sponsoring-and-stocking sales program, local dealers need to support brands and don't expect it all at no risk (and really what is the risk when you can fully return/exchange products at no cost?)

Internet retailers are dominating the market right now, be it in dirt or street, why? Because you the consumers decided so. So don't give me the lame b.s. excuse that it's because of sponsorhouse.com or mxsponsor or any other direct-marketing program like that.

As far as sponsoring, come on, stop thinking that it's about winning races and being fast. I guess that Suzuki followed that naive philosophy and.... eeeer, crash! Ain't taken them nowhere! mmmmh me think, will they have a factory team next year or is it that without Rockstar and Makita money there ain't no win on Sunday sell on Monday!!? LMAO!!
Sponsoring is about helping people to afford racing, with all its level, from paying athletes to just a bonus, to free products, to just a discount. What brand need is exposure and visibility in the market, no necessarily race wins and fastest guys. Windham and Wey would be out of the circuit if it was about being the fastest... LOL.

I always find it odd when noobs dig up a post that is 3 years old and reply to it. . . Are you a spammer for the site or something?

Post a reply to: Mxsponsor.com?
