661 is what you're looking for, if you can call it a sponsorship.

If I were you I would take your time to make a really nice,
professional looking video.

Nimbus unicycles are unicycle.coms own brand so being sponsored by
nimbus would pretty much be being sponored by UDC and you will need to
get alot better before you get sponsored by them. At least I like to
think you need to be ,no effence

Haha. No problem, glad it helped, thats what I made it for.

I got frustrated when I was learning them because no one seemed to be
able to tell me what I wanted. I said when asking that I would make a
tutorial once I could land them, and so thats what I did.

Also, the average person is already pretty impressed by ANY type of
extreme uni riding, whether it be MUni, trial, street, etc. And it is
the average person they are targeting to buy their stuff, since there
are MILLIONS more average ppl than there are elite athletes with top
notch skills.

And then there's the older demographic which is less likely to be
either intimidated or think they could never ride like that in a
million years. And of course, the older demographic SPENDS MONEY!

And they are more likely to do so if they see a rider-who is very good
and competant-but also gives them the feeling that it's at least
*possible* to achieve some of the riding skills they see. Again, the
real bottom line is that the sponsor wants you to help them
successfully promote and SELL their products. It's all about MONEY to
the sponsor.

Well, if 661 is your sponsor, simply wearing their gear, and getting
publicity showing you with it on is all the promotion I'm talking
about. Ride as usual. Lol, I'm not talking about getting on TV or a
newspaper and talking about the sponsor. Actions speak volumes. Just do
some kick-ass riding while wearing their stuff. that's it.
