A lot of times sponsoring a rider isn't about who is the fastest, it's about who represents your company and image the best/most effectively.


Who the fuck are you to say who does and doesn't deserve a certain amount of support?
Couldn't agree more.
I guess some people seem to forget that the ultimate goal of sponsorship is to advertise a product. Yeah, it's great to have the guy that is a constant front runner to be running your product, but they are not always accessible. That being said, there are multiple ways in which you can accomplish this..

I personally applaud Motosport for taking a different approach and taking a guy who is making a lot of mains (which is a huge accomplishment within itself) and bringing the spectator behind the scenes. In my opinion, Albertson brings a lot more to the table than just his ability on a bike, and Motosport is smart for using that to their advantage.

Same goes for shows such as The Runaways, Man VS Moto and the Driven to Ride series!

There are people who are makers (Weston Peick) than there are those who are takes..aka the alberson project.

Can't believe how many moto-socialists there are on here.

OH HES A GOOD GUY, HE DESERVES A FACTORY BIKE

LOL, no bro.
Who is trying to say he deserves a factory bike? You just pulling shit out of your ass to make a pointless point? Huck pretty much covered it.

The only thing deserved around here is a click for your sorry ass.... BRO.

PJ, the majority of motorcycle riders don't ride motocross, and even less actually race.
I probably could have worded it better.

Simpler terms: those who cannot or do not do, always have the most to say.

If he does that then some guy worse than Albertson (according to your warped logic) will be making the main. How harsh will you be on that guy?

Since you want to bring John Galt into this, I think Top Jimmy is the epitome of what Ayn Rand conveys about capitalism in regards to objectivism. Jimmy is doing it on his own, on his terms and forming his own team fulfills the self-reliant portion. I don't know who you are but I can promise you that you're not the only one on this forum who has read a book or two. In the minority, perhaps. Stand-alone, definitely not. I wish you would just come out and say what your blatant distaste for Albertson is. The dude is a fan favorite, good guy, making a living riding a dirt bike, married to a good chick. What was your last username, by the way.

Lol this is the dumbest thing I have read on here in a while. The fact that you are comparing Jimmy's sponsorships to socialism is absolutely ridiculous. I'm as conservative as the next guy, but there is no correlation here. No one is forcing his sponsors to support him like the Government is forcing the makers take care of the takers via taxes. Hopefully you can understand that...

This is 100% correct. A riders brand is more important than his results.

That said, Jimmy has the talent. Great attitude. Never a liability or issue for teams. There's a side of all sports that fans will never see and Jimmy aces that aspect of his professional life.

As for his results not matching his talent...that could be said for 80% of the field. Very few pass the eyeball test. As in, take a look at the when they are shirtless and tell me if you actually see a "pro athlete".

Staying healthy is so hard in this sport. And most riders dont publicize their injury status. But getting in top shape never hurt anyone.

And Hill a few days before that. I'm starting to see a trend here.

If results were the only thing that mattered, you'd see very few rides and sponsorships.

One of Jimmy's supporters was telling me about helping him prior to the season, maybe this will put it into perspective.

Jimmy has a good attitude and a solid following. We will get great exposure through the video series because he and Georgia are good on camera. Even if Jimmy gets hurt, we'll still get eyeballs on our brand because the video series will be there following whatever he has going on.

That's a loose quote, but I noted the fact he didn't mention results and the fact that there is value even if Jimmy isn't on the track. Plus, what are a majority of this thread's posters views on the companies that support Jimmy? Something along the lines of "they are grass roots companies who are involved in the sport and like to help people." It's a no lose, feel good story. We're in a new era of media where more than results matter.

Not to mention, how much TV time with his semi and LCQ wins has Jimmy gotten this year in addition to the video hits and activation in the pits?

I wouldn't take a bet that Jimmy won't be in the top 10 at some point this season, he's riding really well. Sure he's had some crashes and/or bike issues, but he is definitely not far off putting it together. I will bet that it honestly doesn't matter in the amount of exposure he's getting.

Props to Jimmy and all of those supporting him. They are doing a great job of creating exposure, therefore, creating jobs and a ride! I definitely applaud what they are doing and wouldn't think twice about supporting Jimmy.

One last cool thing about him and Peick both, with their own program, they are getting to ride the bike brand they want, with the staff they want around, with the companies they want around them.
