How many people do you think know about Steve? Is the amount that he gets "paid" (or if he even gets money from sponsors) fair compared to his fame? Im under the impression that his fame/skill/influance is overlooked greatly by his sponsors. Steve has met/coached so many kids, been in so many edits and is very well know. I feel like he is a classic example of a skier that sells product but not given much by his sponsors. Thoughts?

That's a good point OP,  good thread eventhough Saga wants to kill you atm.

Steve Stept is a good example of how sponsors should be used sometimes.

On a serious note, I agree with you Andy.
But it's kind of the same with you, isn't it?

I like his style always have.

With that said, if hes not getting the money he's looking for now he should give up cause it aint coming. Real talk, enjoy the sponsors you have now as they prepare for the next generation.

simple suggestion for you mr parry. create a brand, get out your check book and pay steve what you think hes valued, see how well it works.

this isnt supposed to be negative towards steve at all. more towards andy. its easy to sit at home and say "so and so has so much credit, he deserves this much money" there are a lot more factors that go into what a sponsor is willing to pay a person than just how much NS karma he/she has.
the last thing a sponsor (saga especially) wants is to hold back someone theyre supporting. we want to give the people on our team every available option to progress their career. you have to think of it like tit for tat scenario. a sponsor is willing to do as much for a person as that person is willing to do for the sponsor. some skiers and snowboarders simply dont want to play the game and therefore will likely never get the big checks. a company isnt just going to hand over 10s of thousands of dollars to someone for making a couple good web edits a year and wearing tall ts. sorry to say but its a little more involved than that.

and before everyone jumps on our back thinking we dont support steve or the other people on our team maybe you should ask them first.

p.s. maybe a little much of a rant, threads like this can get you fired up first thing in the am

Steve and Andy should take this advice seriously. Do it while you can / before no one knows your names! Get that saga paper ;)

haha thats a good one.

no were not mad. we would just like people to see and understand that it isnt all cakes and pies in the sponsored world. sure it sounds simple: get good at skiing, get sponsored, get paid. but there are a lot of parts missing in there.

At the time of my first statement I forgot that Andy does have a brand, YOKE. if he wants to prove something the the world of ski sponsors all he needs to do is start the trend of paying people what he thinks there worth. if it works and its revolutionary everyone else will follow suit surely and he will be heralded as the man who changed sponsorship forever.

I dont really want to get into a super heated forum debate about why so and so is or isnt sponsored and this guy is underrated and needs sponsors. if someone wants something changed then change it. whining on a forum does little to nothing

Nah man, Black Steve is like that really ratchet girl in the group that isn't as good looking as all the other girls, so you don't want to pay attention to her, but the sheer ratchet-ness of her attitude and blunt 5's still causes you to look over.

You're an idiot. Steve Stept owns Stept Productions. Why do they have the same name? Conspiracy? I don't think so. There are only a few idiots who don't realize it
