Video: Billy Hoyes Stylishly Sends Jumps in 'Renegade'
It’s not a privilege to be able to ride bikes and gain financially or through discount ,free parts etc? So what your saying is anyone who can sell something’s worth sponsoring ? So if joe bloggs decides to sell a Freddo to Dave down the corner should Cadbury’s hook him up? Clearly not , although it would be nice for joe bloggs it’s not going to happen. Your local bike shop sells some chain lube .. should they be sponsored? Clearly not . Dave the rave sells illegal substances.. should the cartel sponsor him? Clearly not. At the end of the day my personal opinion is these companies and businesses ( although there far superior and there marketing skills are next level ) for example get a lad with a few insta followers and some right tight jeans a bike to ride and get him to “ be the scene “ is a lot more cheaper than getting a privateer rider yet possibly the fastest in the world to a few world cups or maybe help with a personal trainer etc. It’s easy advertising and it’s just putting pardon me if this is insulting “ talentless individuals with a following “ as role models for the younger generation .. it’s making this generation of youth lazy , why race/ compete when you can just do a few spins ? This is the same rider whose “gasser” brand is promoting ambassadors to join him , we all know that’s a great business strategy but the only gains the the man on the books. It’s just blowing smoke up peoples twll tin, and showing this next generation that there’s no need for hard work.

You’ve literally just proved what I was saying word for word, most people go film edits on a zero budget plenty of people crash plenty of people break things , it’s riding a mountain bike , people actually do it just to progress and have a laugh, a 16 year old lad and his mates ain’t thinking about money when there making an edit there just doing it because it’s some fun . Being a sponsored rider should be a privilege rather than a “hard life” and it isn’t just Billy it’s the masses who are claiming poverty from being a sponsored athlete .. all your doing is going and riding a bike , you ain’t racing , you ain’t fighting for championships , your just being an influencer , your replaceable , you should be doing it for free , Harry main did a very good explanation of his time as a “sponsored” athlete and possibly looking at the “gypsy tales “ on you tube could educate some people . Why should a rider be paid by these companies if all there doing is posting insta clips and edits claiming to “ not be the scene “ when it couldn’t be anymore scene , personally it would make more sense having the cast of geordie shore sponsored by a riding brand because they’d sell a lot more than these so called “ struggling athletes” . It makes the real athletes in this sport and there family’s look like idiots putting thousands into racing to try be a top contender , to actually have something to show .probably why there ain’t as many factory riders and the real privateers have to go through hell just to be able to race on the weekend working a full time job. Perhaps this should be more directly said to those brands to support the riders who put the real effort and sacrifice in and sack all these influencers off . I think the whole concept and write up should of been more thoroughly thought out I kind of get where it was coming from but to state how much loss you and Billy have had from this “project” just ain’t cool , none of those kids going out on weekends do it , it’s like wanting to make it look like it’s a tough life , if a kid can do it for nothing maybe funding it from his milk round , then I’m sure two adults can do it not an issue . It’s videos like this what show why the riding industry is such a shamble and why true athletes ( not lads who can do a bar spin and a whip in some tight jeans because that’s not an athlete ) those ones going out to race and put there life on the line should be the ones claiming poverty . @Badger-Productions:

I don’t understand how you couldn’t get more corporate a sponsored rider , introducing sponsors at the beginning , showing off products for the sponsors , you couldn’t get more scene or following the crowd than this edit Billy is literally as “scene” as you could get , there’s no originality these days , get back too 2008 when riding edits were riding and you had teenagers pulling out edits what made you want to ride and not once were the promoting sponsors and businesses , the only thing that was getting promoted was getting kids out to ride bikes . Riding was good , drone work was decent but the whole message it was ment to be showing was bum
