For those of you who are interested in applying for sponsorship with NYCFreeride it would be a good idea to read through these next few points especially if you want a higher level of sponsorship.

1. Don't apply for sponsorship if your profile is empty or has just a couple photos and no information about you.
2. Don't beg us for free stuff.
3. When filling out the application be sure to not leave another sponsors name in the text that you are copying and pasting.
4. Really put some effort into thinking of ways that you can promote the NYCFreeride brand and let us know.
5. You don't have to have amazing race results and 1st place finishes.  We need athletes that just get out there and ride every chance they get.

Once you are sponsored with NYCFreeride here are some things we like:

1. Brag & Blog!  Talk to everyone about your new sponsor NYCFreeride via friends, blogs, myspace or other websites like ridemonkey.com and MTBR.com. 
2. Customize your profile at sponsorhouse, myspace or other website with NYCFreeride logos and graphics... we have lots of pre-made stuff you can use.
3. Send us photos of you racing, riding and wearing NYCFreeride!
4. Keep us posted on your activities including any races and how well you do.  Feel free to send us race reports and stories.

 At the end of the season when its time to renew contracts and upgrade athletes, we will take a look at what you have done and how well you communicated to us through out the year.  Those athletes that shine will get a better deal and more perks.
