Sponsorship

[R6_kid]

Has anyone ever pursued the idea of getting outside sponsorship for their bucket racing?

Given that the costs for buckets arent particularly huge, do you think that sponsorship would be a bit over the top?

"do you think that sponsorship would be a bit over the top?"
Not after seeing buckets4me's rs framed bucket that he recons would be 5k to build! Free oil every couple races could save $3o that could be spent on... Things...

As I once said to a fat chick...I'll take what I can get.:buggerd:

[Trudes]

I've thought about it..... that's as far as I got, thought I'd get laughed at, especially how slow I am!!

We had some sponsorship based on a parts deal ... Nudey set up.

I could give you my Subway points if ya want?

[Pumba]

Have thought about it and then thought from a potential sponsers point of view what has buckets got to offer them, I came to the conclusion sweet fook all.

And then I stopped thinking.

I also got a demon deal from Crazefox for painting Lady Penelope and he's emblazoned his company name on her so that is a semi-sponsorship deal.

I'm working on an idea of a race series at Kaitoke, ie a 3-4 round event sponsored by a "shop" or 2 that may be interested..... :niceone:

I'll try and get Red Bull of V to sponsor my ride.

[Trudes]

I'm trying for a Speights and Cadbury sponsorship deal.....:innocent:

[R6_kid]

I was thinking more along the lines of Big Ben, Double Brown, and L&P. :headbang:

[Skunk]

Stop thinking.

Buckets is fun. Sponsorship means results must be shown for the sponsor and it all gets too serious.

Being slow allows spectators to read your sponsors messages better.

Don't s'ppose political parties would be interested. Perhaps Aotaroa Legalise?

My bike didn't cost me that much about $1000 at a guess

and most of it was paid for by the sponsor

thanks Dad :jerry:
oy year and ESE Ltd


oh if you can get a sponsor go for it dont let anyone tell you buckets can do nothing for a sponsor
I have had a lot of interest in the bike and am just waiting for someone to throw stickers on it
but in reality you wont get much from anyone

I have had
cheap tires
free gass
free oil
lots of second hand parts
more time than can be remembered
cheaper new parts
and free stickers

thanks again

and I have only won 2 races
and about the same seconds
but the bike is out there rain or shine
and it never gives up
I would be hard pressed to remeber when it let me down and I never crossed the finish line without going to hospital :laugh:

How about a bottle store/supermarket sponsoring refreshments?
