Do they actually sponsor people outside their bubble?
For the last 3 years or so during their window of sponsorship I know a good amount of people that applied . Some of those guys have pretty impressive resumes and fit Fasthouse’s “look”, but no one ever hears anything.

Are they just collecting emails and info or do people actually get some type of deal ?

Just curious…

I sent in a resume and they said I will hear back in dec regardless if we got the sponsorship or not. Never heard anything.

I can't speak for sponsorship, but FastHouse makes great gear. I just bought some....and I'm impressed with the quality and fit (runs small so size appropriately). I was a Thor fan, but their quality and skinny boy fit ruins it for me!

Yeah it seems that's their modus operandi. My daughter that wore Fasthouse gear and won 4 Nat titles in 2021 ,has had her pictures in 8 of the last 10 AHRMA magazines,(usually WITH Fasthouse gear on ) enough coverage that even the Fasthouse Rider support person follows her racing on Instagram, gave her the no-answer cold-shoulder,too. Told her that notifications would be made by 12/31 and it's now 2/2/22 and nothing.
However,its a moot point for her, because AOT responded immediately (within a couple of days) and gave her gear deal that was even better than we hoped for. Their communication and support has been fantastic, and the gear is excellent quality !!

All the resumes with titles and championships at local races probably doesn't apply to them as their slogan is "We Race Sometimes." Might be a hard pill to swallow that you don't fit the mold that Fasthouse is looking for. I think the gear is great quality and the people that work there are of class. They just don't sponsor everybody which is perfectly acceptable as its not a Hookit or Sponsorhouse brand.

They can just use the same thing (word) that every other company, restaurant and business uses.

AOT has some interesting gear...





Yeah, and they'll do some custom work too (kinda like Canvas) . They've been great with her and honestly the quality seems to be every bit as good if not better. Her Fasthouse pants tore very easily ,even on the mildest of crashes. So we'll see how it works out .

They have a lot of designs , from simple and clean like this



to wild and bright ...like this lol


It was just nice to deal with a company that did what they said they would do (actually surpassed) and communicated in a timely fashion.

Although I'm a looooong-time THOR guy personally (probably due to my age more than anything else) these guys seem to be doing things right .

Thanks guys!!!

I’m Kip owner of AOT. There are some amazing gear companies out there, and we do our best to be as different as we can.
Most all of our designs are limited, and then on top of that we do EXTREMELY limited (sub 20 sets).

We also have a huge rider support/sponsorship program. In this program there’s 3 tiers where the rider can get 10-100% off. We also do huge give sways throughout the year. (Over 15k given away last year)
I’m a veteran, and so a lot of the gear has a patriotic feel, but you will also see stuff that’s way out there, and more traditional. We continue to grow and evolve.
Here’s our latest set.

I was always told fasthouse ran big and was better for taller riders.
