Unicycling has sponserships? Not to sound rude, but that is awesome! So, I'm assuming there is a pro circle. Does it work much like skateboarding or BMX? I'm just curious...

Well, there are some sponsorships with unicycling companies like Kris Holm Unicycles, Koxx One and Bedford Unicycles. But, since there aren't too many of us you can usually find other companies that are willing to sponsor you. 661 is an example. They make shoes and pads, not unicycles. But unicyclists need shoes and pads! Eroick also needs some clipless shoes, which he can get for cheap at 40% off.
 So yeah, sponsorships in unicycling usually come from non-unicycling companies. It just takes a little effort.

and also they charge more for shin guards than UDC does, and i live in the same state as sixsixone and they wanted a rediculous ammount for shipping, so after all that and the discount, its pretty much the same price

You're lucky you're in the US. I tried getting a sponsorship from 661, wrote the US guys who're interested but told me to write my local distributors first. One *tried* to be polite by telling me that unicycling is a unique sport and only serious sportsmen like <insert list of bmxers> get sponsored. Still, because of the referral from 661 USA, I'm offered a 10% off which is about what I can get from stores ANYWAY.
The other distributor likewise offered just a discount and perhaps a commission on every guard I get to sell. It's been 2 weeks and they haven't replied to my question of how much discount I'm getting as yet but I'm guessing 15%? 20% Max? It sucks but extreme sports here get no respect. Unless you're a foreigner. |
