Today would be amazing to go riding."Then we go back to work and push it out of our minds…And that is where most people stop pursuing their dreams! If you don’t push for riding 60 days a year but you dream about doing it, then you are smothering your chances of actually doing it. Who told you to dream small? When did you begin telling yourself you aren’t a dreamer? Why did you begin listening

How often do you set yourself up for success in Action Sports?Are you one of those that has natural talent?Or do you have to fight for every inch of progress?We live in such a diverse world that some people have a natural talent that they are born with. It seems unfair especially to those that have to work so hard just to progress one inch in their life. But at the end of the day, if you are progressing, it doesn’t matter if it’s from natural talent or from pushing yourself to your limits, progress

Is competition the only way you can land sponsorships?Or are sponsorships based solely on your talent?What other way can you land sponsorships and spend more time riding?When we sit in the comfort of our home and scroll through our social media, we may think “must be nice” when we see someone riding a new bike, traveling the world, or getting the “hook up” from a company. But what if seeing and thinking isn’t the reality of what is actually happening? We all too often judge a situation or individual

How do you operate your social media account?Are you enjoying what you are posting and sharing with the world?Or do you consume more than you create?When it comes to a life on social media there are a few “types” of people. 1. You might absolutely love posting all about your lifestyle and blast it to the world to see. 2. Social media is not about posting and sharing your life, but more about consuming others content and viewing the world through your personal device. 3. You want to share you social

How long do you stick with a sponsor?Should you sponsor hop to the best deal possible?Or should you stick with the company you believe in?It’s a sticky situation when it comes to changing brands. It can be a challenge and a blessing depending on how you look at it. But at the end of the day, you need to ask yourself “Does this company fit with what I am wanting to accomplish inside my career”.

But the reality is, there is a tipping point for each one of us and those points vary from person to person.

What’s the difference between sponsorship and marketing?Should we be asking, “What are sponsorships?”Maybe we should know “What is marketing”.At the end of the day what is the difference between the two? You may not like our answer to this question. As kids we dreamed of being sponsored by big companies and riding the rest of our lives as sponsored athletes. As adults we believe that sponsorships are only for the top athletes. Maybe our guest today can answer the question “What’s the difference

Really trying to figure out if nutrition is necessary to excel inside a respective action sport. But at the end of the day, if you feel like crap, can’t sleep right, and have twinkies sitting on your night stand, probably should look at changing a few habits that you’ve developed.

Do you enjoy your riding lifestyle?How often do you have the chance to change things up, maybe for the better?Or do you feel like something needs to change but your not sure what it is?I believe that when we begin going down one path, we do not see an alternate path. Because we get focused on the one right in front of us, and it’s the one we want to take. So we take that path and we start the journey. But what happens when you go down the path for a few years and things are just not as they used to

Do we idolize others in our industry?We put some people on pedestals almost like Greek Gods.But should we be doing this?During our upbringing we are always looking upwards. It might have to do with the fact that everybody is bigger than we are at such young ages. Even if that may be the case, we continue to look up to specific individuals all the way into our adulthood. Some people will begin idolizing others as well. You might know somebody that does this. Open up their garage and find a shrine

What kind of relationship should be built with sponsors?Should the relationship be a give and take relationship?Or is it better to keep receiving and never knowing how to give back to them? The success in the industry when it comes to landing sponsors is a two way street. Though we can sign up on an awesome deal that gets us discounts on gear or parts, the relationships need to be built so you can help the companies grow and ultimately help the industry grow.
