Individual Sponsorship
SDR doesn’t do individual rider sponsorships. I don’t have enough resources to offer a meaningful sponsorship and I’m not interested in anything less. However, if you are part of a team or other organization that would qualify for the programs below, please reach out!
Youth Dev Teams, Clubs & General Organizations
Is your youth dev team/league/etc looking for a casual or technical apparel partner for your organization that just generally gives a damn? Want someone who is happy to help walk you through design options and won’t bullshit you for an upsell? Want someone who lives and breathes bikes the way you do? Give me a shout.
What you get from SDR:
- 20% site wide discount on non-clearance retail items for your staff/members
- 15% discount on orders of any custom items and all related services (eg design services)
- Monthly promotion of your organization on SDR’s social media
What I expect from you:
- An SDR logo prominently displayed on any custom items (within reason; I’m not a monster)
- Your organization has a public Instagram account I can follow and repost
- You’ll make at least one post monthly promoting SDR and our partnership
- Your organization is a positive presence in the bike community
Historically Excluded Rider Focused Organizations
The entire purpose of SDR is to make the mountain bike world a better place. As such, I’m dedicated to helping foster groups who are focused on serving historically excluded riders in our community. If your organization’s mission revolves around serving BIPOC, LGBTQAI+, women, disabled riders or other typically historically excluded folks in the mountain bike community, social justice, or accessibility (either social/economic barriers or disability/adaptive sport), this sponsorship is for you.

Frequently Asked Questions
Are there any documents to review? contracts, 1099s, etc?
Nope, this isn’t a legal agreement. We’re both free to walk away if the relationship isn’t working for either of us.
Is it ok if we have other sponsors?
Sure, as long as they are cool with you repping SDR and you live up to the above expectations.
What if our organization doesn’t live up to the expectations above?
I’ll reach out and see if it’s something I can help with. If you’re just being jerks though, I’ll pull the sponsorship.
Who decides if we get a sponsorship and what organizations qualify for what?
I do. SDR is ultimately a solo act, and all decisions are at my sole discretion.
Could we do a larger sponsorship?
Feel free to reach out with what you have in mind, but I’m just one person with limited resources. So I can’t promise anything.
Can the retail discount be used on sale items?
Regular sales? Probably, unless it’s a huge sale and stacking would put the price too far below my cost. Clearance items? No. Those are already priced at or below my cost, sorry.
Can I order for friends and family?
As long as you don’t abuse it. I track everyone’s discount code and I’m not made of money. Abusing your discount is a good way to get your sponsorship pulled.
