and he is probably ranked #1 for a reason. You dont get that level of support unless your damn good and have a good reputation and the respect of the industry.

even in the USA, very very very few riders recieve a free ride. the top pro atv riders still have to work hard to get support, they dont get everything for free.

[UKRacer#17]

yer its not as good as it seems only the top 5 are really getting anything free. those graphics are 1 offs with all of pauls sponsors on. trust me its alot bigger over in the U.S!

yeh thats what i mean u.s. top pros that ride hondas still have to pay for stuff.

[Pappy]

i know of a few pro's (gnc and gncc) that have been recieving 450r's and some parts for free, but usually its coming thru a back door sponsorship and not directly from honda. 2 or 3 free 450r's goes along way to help offset the cost but doesnt come close to the expenses most pro teams incur.

im glad honda is doing something, many years went by when the factories did zilch for anyone. maybe in the future it will grow into more rider support, i liked the honda bucks program but i heard there were issues with them not coving certain classes as of late. id like to see more factories doing this type of program as it deffinatley incentifies a rider to finish better.

yeh i just think honda could do more for atv mx since atv sell more than bikes:eek2: they got the money too and we all no it.

There is more of a market in the bikes world right now and I'm not sure that will ever change. I would like to see the quads get as much recognition as bikes, but I am just happy to have as much as we have right now. :D Nothing is ever free in this world and why are you belly-aching about wanting Honda to give out better sponsorship anyways? In your sig, it looks like you're sponsored by your mom and dad. I think you are pretty lucky already. I'll bet you anything that 90% of the kids out there would love to just have permission to ride an atv. Most poeple are not as privileged as you and I and the rest of our fellow members to own and ride atv's or dirt bikes.;) It's nice that companies spread the wealth a little and help others out, but to complain because someone got more than you is not right in my opinion. That's my two cents, take it or leave it:cool:

[Mxracer53]

i have more sponsors than my parents but they count the most and i am truley grateful . the help me get me to where i am today. atv sell more because they can be used more places more times and usually last longer than bikes im just saying that it should be more like the bikes
