In October last year one international magazine published one full page advert off my board sponsors in the time whit me on it but didn't put my name as a rider !
When I asked the brand representative in Australia and also my kite sponsor in the time why my name is not on it he sad ..sorry Leo we forgot , and told me that I was dreaming and I'm to old to get better deals or go to international comps over seas .

I reckon some sponsor should never say something like that for one off there athletes that is why I left!

Did you get better deals once you'd left the sponsor?

they may have actually forgotten, its not like anybody can see your face for the spray,
does your name in lights really mean that much to you, really at your age?

Anyway I've seen you ride a reo last month @ after you dissed the brand and all that.

Reo's are an amazing wing and you know it, I just don't get why your so angry.

I agree mate and if some one told me I was too old or not good enough I wouldn't want them representing me either.
even if it is true in my case

PS I watched over a minute of that clip just waiting

Considering kiting hasn't been going for 20 years, how is Australia behind 20 years?

I agree with you Leo it does suck when they forget your name especially when it's the only published photo you've got to use to try slay chicks and convince them your a pro and they ask well why isn't your name on the photo

It doesn't matter how many qualifications or skills you have; if you can't write correctly you look like a moron. I definitely wouldn't want someone who posts rants full of spelling and grammar mistakes as the public face of my brand. The commercial agreement from the sponsors perspective; your brilliance is supposed to be attracting my money....

Take Todd Carney as an example. He is a brilliant player, but because he’s an idiot, no one wants him representing their club.
