If only spnosorship was just about riding ability. Chances are they aren't into sponsoring the guy spouting off on the net about how good he is.

what i heard was that you just have to have placed in the top 10 of a race and the team manager has to ride with you, then you pay $475 and your on the team. Its some skil,l but ive ridden with a few of the kids on the team and they were nothing special.

oh yeah soory i thought u were talking about the regular team. Yeah for the Junior x team you have to be hand picked and be pretty damn good.

the syndicate is cool in all, but i rather not pay to get on to a team. see i used to roll for the Transition Factory Team, no fee.

The syndicate junior team is a joke, the kids get their mommies to pay the fee and then they wear the jersey. I past a kid on that team my first race and he was on a transition Gran Mal.

you guys need to be watching out for two amazing jr x riders from the PNW.

harry phelps
and
Evan gilsdorf

both are racing age 17, so they still have next year after this, and are placing top semi-pro times/mid range pro times. both are 16/17.

these guys will probly make it to worlds next season when theyve matured a little more.
