-partial X-post from southeast photo thread in the South forum_

wow...what a day! a full afternoon of riding. the new Demo8 works like a dream :thumb: Noah was definitely on his game today, just nailing everything fast and smooth.
anyway, here are the pics :thumb:
he cleared the first big dirt double today :D

danW, being a good soccer mom, runs after noah to give him his lunch money...but it was too late :D

he was rockin' the stepdown

and one of the newer doubles

and then found a sweet drop


he also picked up the camera for a bit today and took some decent pictures. i just told him to pre-focus and have fun. he snagged a better shot of me than most adults usually do ;)

i've thought about it but i don't want him to get burnt out. besides, he's not really racing anything, just riding for fun.

any recommendations on how to go about it? i'm a virgin to the whols sponsorship thingy. we are building up a specialized hotrock for him :think:

I don't think he has to race or anything to get a sponsorship, but I have never done any sponsorship before. It certainly couldn't hurt to take a collage of photos and some video footage and send it around to a bunch of bike manufacturers. Obviously he's got game and needs a good bike and parts that fit him to continue progressing and when they see the need, he may get some demo product :thumb:

I also have to tell you that everytime you post up a 'lil manimal thread, it totally makes my day. My husband and I look forward to seeing his pics and videos :thumb:

wow...all the way back from feb of this year. cool ;)

uh...in case my sarcasm meter didn't read right...that haro was a "just for a picture" setup w/ my superT on it as a joke. however, had i found a way to mount that 16" wheel to the 20mm dropout i would have ridden it around like a chopper ;)

There's a lot of freeride haters in my town, even when we are just using old gravel pits. I think if they saw someone his age ripping it like that, their hearts would change..

cheers
