Personally I don't think you sounded smug, Mario just sounds jealous.
why is it every time i say summat about someone elses sponsership ppl think i'm jealous?!?!?! in case you hadn't noticed i am sponsered myself and quite frankly by some damn good company's.

this for all you people who think you need to actually play tournaments etc to get sponsorship.
if this don't sound smug then i don't know what does.

Ok, right about now you should know you should never give away what sponsorship you get :)

If you do another team will probably go to the shop and demand the same or give them hassle that there deal isn't as good. The shop will probably get pi$$ed at you and cut your deal off. So play safe and never say a thing.

So I'd edit your post mate. ;)

It's one thing to be proud of your sponsors, another to sound like an arrogant kid, you gotta realise the movers and shakers respect maturity so watch yourself and you'll be cool.

Haven't seen your other posts but this one just sounded a bit of a knee jerk reaction which smacked of jealousy. It was the whole - "watch it come crashing down" tone.

I took it he was just showing the guys who are starting up that being a bit pro-active and approaching industry could get you results. The worst that can happen is they say no. Plus, he said his whole team was 15-19 so I took it as a bit of "youthfull exuberance" :)
