Just got off the phone with some potential sponsors,the news is good and bad,Tampax said they were all in but were hanging by a string ready to talk,Midol said it was the wrong time of the month for them to sponsor anyone,Trojan said they had sponsored in the past but that most of the people they had sponsored turned out to be D!#ks,Orbitz gum was extremely interested and couldn't think of a better spokesperson.

i "support" this network.im part of the only group that does. I PAY for my parts. ive spent way more than i should have on parts for my boats...id rather have them cost less, but its really more important that "pros" get free motors. haha No offense Cuong! i dont really care, its not my bidnis ')


I’m glad you support the network (because you have always been nice to me in person and visa versa), just remember, there are many ways to support other than money. Regarding the rest of your post…that’s my point Brett…basic economics 101…supply and demand. Your prices for the average joe should eventually drop when more people become involved via more exposure…so you should get what you want then (less cost). That part takes time when you are developing an industry, and it is painful for everyone (sacrifices are made for the team); the main point is to not tear away at the key people who are pushing hard and risking much. I talk smack all the time, but since I do invest quite a bit in travel myself, I’m fairly familiar with whom I’m addressing typically…that makes a BIG difference in knowing where their boundaries are; however, I intend to attempt to monitor my behavior at this point a little better.

I read that thread Ride started about tele, and I like the Fuel idea Zach suggested much better than MTV based on my limited knowledge (I personally don’t watch tele enough to support this statement though). MTV seemed pretty nasty last time I checked it out and what I have seen of Fuel did not; however, when you are young, you usually start off at the bottom of the market as opposed to the top (doesn’t have to be that way, but it usually is in life for most people and companies/industries etc.).

As for the inference I made about the tour operators, I wish to tone that down (whether it needs to be or not). I have no personal knowledge of how hard they are working or not, so that was mere frustration talking on my part…still, it never hurts to try to offer ideas, as a matter of fact it is beneficial…when done correctly. Have a good weekend.


There are plenty of sponsors out there for Pete,he just needs to think outside the box a little more,Band-aid would be a good one,also TIDE ,Prozac,Ritalin and INFRACT-AWAY might even be interested,he could be like the Billy Mays of freestyle.

I believe posting here is one of the sacrifices Suzi was referring to,I mean she does spend a lot of her free time posting here,I doubt she gets paid although some do pay her no attention.As for being a pro from what I can gather on this website, if you say you are a pro and your friends say you are a pro then you are a pro.That being said Charlie is a pro antagonist,he says he is and I say he is so that means he is.:pancake:

PRO comes from the word professional. (Big duh!)
It comes down to someone that makes a living out of a.....sport?
They are good at what they do, so good that someone is willing to pay for them to ride or perform or whatever.....they put so much dedication and heart into their "Sport" and it shows, so now the term PRO it's also used for someone that shows those same attributes on their careers.....

"that lawyer is a PRO"...."that doctor is a PRO"....."that hooker is a PRO".....HA!

In jetski racing "pro" mean holding a pro card with IJSBA or APBA and racing in pro or pro/am races. I'm not sure about the IFWA.

pete's front footholds kick ass. he sells them dirt cheap i'd love to see him here in oregon. so what if he asked for donations seems to me he does a lot trying to hook people up. I for one am glad he's around.

what makes someone a "pro" as in "professional" is when their skill level gets to a certain degree to where a company sponsors them, and they do it for a living.

just because someone has a pro level of skill, doesn't mean that they're pro, it just means that their good enough to be.
until it becomes their profession and livelihood, they are not a pro.

So wait that makes any pro that has a job beside jet skiing not a PRO?

That would make them AMs right? How does that make sense.
