I was just wondering if how you guys feel on stickers with company logos on them.if you put them on your bike but arn't sponcered does that mean you are a poser pretending to be sponcered?I think it is ok even if you suck at freestyle but that's just my opinion lets hear yours.

most of us would have pretty plain bikes if we could only put sponcer's stickers on.........

of course your not pretending to be sponcered...a lot of the time, you get stickers with the product (e.g. boyesen reeds, FMF pipes)

I put stickers on my bike that have nothing to do with mx, FMX, etc. right now it has a giant sticker of the U2 dragonlady (American Spyplane for those who don't know it) because my dad used to fly it and got it for me, and the Air Force definitely doesn't sponsor me.

Considering the ratio of sponsored riders to people with bikes, I say sticker stuff however you want. I have stickers all over my monitor that are just cool stickers, and the stickers on my fitty are ones that I think match the look of my bike or just look cool. Who cares what other people think about your bike, do what you want.

i like any bike that is clean and looks good. my plastics are shot and i hate spending money on new ones. stickers are my answer to not blowing my hard earned cash on plastics. i bought my niece the raddest plastic kids bike at toys are us that was almost entirely made of the same kind of plastic as bike plastics for like $35 bucks plus all the metal stuff. i don't know who prices plastics but we are all getting ripped. whoever prices stickers though- great job! i only kinda laugh at the kids trying to sticker it up like it is a factory ride. i remember the first bike i stickered up. i was poser central man. since i don't have sponsors, i guess i still am.

i dont think stickers are for posers but stickers do deffinitely posses magical powers. there is something about shiny new vinyl with a logo or something on it with an adhesive on the other side that lours me to it. I even collect stickers and rarely put them on my bike because after theyve been put on something there about as valuable as a star wars figurine out of the box.

some people can get way too obssessed with stickers though, like hunt certain types down and after they finally pay $10 for 5 stickers they will probably fall off after the first wash.

stickers=cool

Yeah, stickers are god like. They give your bike that extra bit if color, and give you and other people something to axualy look at. Who would want to look at a big glob of one color???

I think stickers are all right, but some reason's I dont like the guy's who cut their fenders even though they can't do a no footer. Like this one time I was riding at a local spot ((bad mistake)) and well this guy thought he was a bad ##### he had his like 1995 Cr125 with Cut fenders and side panels his bike was covered with metal mulisha stickers and even a graphics kit I was crossing the road and he comes around the turn and like cuts in front of me and stops. some reason he stared at me for like 30 seconds and then he went to his friend and started talking about how he could kick my ### later I saw him on the motocross track and he did a can can over the 30 foot table top, and it was funny cause my brother went out and did a indian air over them he put his head down and left with all his other freestyle wannabe friends, it just happened I saw him at the race that weekend the first moto I crashed and placed one place behind him the second moto I didnt crash ((kinda rare)) and I beat him by 5 positions, he raced with cut fenders, shorts and of course his mulisha stickers. Maybe now he won't talk #####

P.S. Just to make it clear i'm not making fun of freestylers or those who cut their fenders.

I dont see any problem with running stickers, or with cutting plastics. Its however you want your bike to look. I personally can only do no foot cans, a half superman, and little tricks, but my bike looks like a freestyle bike, Ive got the black plastic from the seat back, and all red plastic up front. Moto XXX graphics, and black excel rims. No cut plastic, but still, some people just like the look. As far as stickers go, i have a ton, but im sponsored by all of them. It makes no difference, why do you think they sell front and back fender kits with just a bunch of companys on them? Because it looks cool, and people like what looks cool.

A poser is someone who wants to tell you that your sponsored by the stickers that they have, or that they cut there plastic so they can do certain tricks that they cant really do.

i only put stickers on my bike of companies that make stuff that i use (Fox, Pro Circuit, Alpinestars, etc.) I use their stuff, so I might as well support them, eh?

I will run stickers that company's gave me to run. Like Mecanix wear sent me a crap load of stickers and stuff so I think if they gave me the stuff, I should be nice and wear it for them, I have a few company's that give me free stuff
