sponsor--neone???

Will give ya an honest piece of advice here...

www.sfwda.org is the Southern 4wd website, in the site you will find links to various 4x4 clubs in the NC area that are active members of Southern.

Look thru those clubs, check out their websites and ask them (nicely) about coming to a meeting or better yet a WORK day at Uwharrie National Forest so you can meet them and they can meet you.

By showing up at a workday at the forest, you will meet LOTS of guys from this board (several of which have actually already told you NO in this thread)...but you could change their mind when they meet you in person, and you are working right along beside them, keeping our trails open.

By finding a club and joining it (with parents permission etc since you are underage, same thing for the workday)....you will find access to all sort of folks who have ujoints older than you, and they will be part of your new 4x4 hobby / family.

Again...several of the folks in this thread...are members of those clubs.

So that is my honest advice, getting involved with a SFWDA / NC club, and coming to the new workday at URE and you will find yourself a long ways towards getting respect.

Keep the shiny side up bud!

Sam...(and the answer is no...sponsership is for folks we have met, I think you realize that now)...Hinton

thanks man, ill seriously look into smoe of that.
 
I get what you're saying, and I've seen the Cambridge thing before. The point of the program is to force you to find someone who you RESPECT and will listen to, so you can take advice when things get out of hand. When you're young, you tend to take things the wrong way more easily and get mad. The sponsor should help you chill out, and find the point of the other persons post. I joked about the leet speak because I find it annoying, but you might find it useful to practice real english. Your slang has made its way into your "corrected" works. Just like bad habits in the shop end up with injury, bad habits at the keyboard end up with bad grades.

As long as this trhead has no real topic...

Just FYI, the explanation of this is total BS. Might want to do a little research before passing it along. I am being an ass about this *only* because it falls right into my area of training, and most scientists get really pissy when people push around incorrect information that enhance stereotypes. I have seen this paragraph so many times... I just can't take it anymore...

The reason this works is by contextual fill-in. Reading is alot more cognitive than just sucking one word at a time off of a page - yer brain is quite actively taking in the whole sentence (context) and using that to resolve confusion. Note that this effect works *only* if you are a fluid reader (AKA, not dyslexic).

Look at the following string of letters:

iproamtnt

ltteer

phaonmneal

cmabrigde

Make any sense? Doubtful. At least more difficult than above. But they were taken from the above paragraph - hence their explanation is bogus.

Oh and BTW midnite, there is a huge difference in your "speak" than what is above. This is just scrambled letters, easy to change around b/c it is just visual rearrangement, and dosn't require any orthographics or grapheme-phoneme translation. Your babble, on the other hand, does... and for anyone with a phonological "deficiency" (10% of Americans), that's a helluva lot more difficult.

Now that was funny. :lol:
 
WOW, this made it to 3 pages!!

No, nobody wants to sponsor a kid that appears immature and illiterate. Also, nobody knows you, and therefore isn't willing to take a risk that you will make him/her look bad.

Go away already, or grow up, you will see us on the trail if you do anything more than webwheel. Maybe then some one will sponsor you.



I still can't believe 3 pages

3 pages was too easy......we're up to 6 now... :lol: :lol:
 
its 3 pages for those of us that have the # of posts/page set to the max... I'm too lazy to keep hitting Next Page, it's asier to just scroll
 
hmm, well i got my after nine 6 months ago. got a 2wd--going for street mod though. looking for a nice bronco or scout that has some stuff done to it, but not to much so i can get my hands dirty from time to time. ohh, and and its got to run good.

ex.--lift, tires, winch?, roof-rack?, exhaust?, axle mods?--stuff like that. wont go on because this isnt the "looking to buy" section .
 
you are the most fucked up piece of shit to ever crawl the board. please leave or learn how to spell immediately. i just went through 3 pages of misspelled crap and it was all yours. you have a complete lack of gramatical skill. it would be best for everyone if you jumped off a cliff. i know when i joined back when i was like 14, i could spell twice as good as you :flipoff2:

Did you mean "grammatical"? And I never saw much use for capitalization either. :fuck-you: (needed an excuse to use that smiley)

if urem talking to me, then sure. send me a PM so i kniow ure talking to me.

urem?
ure?

URE = Somewhat wrong but accepted abbreviation for Uwharrie National Forest.. But I'm guessing that's NOT what you meant?

See, here's the thing - When no one has met you, seen your face, talked with you over a few.. umm, sodas, all they have to form an opinion about you is how you present yourself through the written word.
 
to make it simple, thanks again for all your un-needed info. ive through 3 pages of this "gramatical error" shit. thanks for telling me the same thing.
and theres a difference in spelling and abriviations.
ne = any
ure=your
just a few examples. and if you would read the thread and actually look through this you would see that the "grammatical issue" has changed.

Ummm, the things I referred to in my post were posted YESTERDAY by you. Nothing really changed except a tiny bit of your agressiveness.

By the way, you'll eventually learn (if no one points it out before then) that arguing with me is like mud wrestling a pig.. sooner or later, you'll figure out that the pig enjoys it..

Those are not abbriviations. Thats stupid gamer/internet talk. It makes you sound stupid and unedjucated.

Besides, they way you used it, it should abbreviate 'you are'
and that is properly done you're.

I never was an good student in english class, but if you EVER make into a professional world, it would be extremely important for others to understand what the hell you are saying, after all, you written work is all someone in another location has to judge you on. When you're unsure what to type, go here http://www.m-w.com/

That's all we're (an abbreviation for 'we are' :fuck-you: ) trying to convey. Type like a sensible person, we're not your buddy's on some IM service. But people trying to get, and help others with, technical knowledge about 4x4's and offroading. If you drive or wrench the way you type, I would't want you within 100 miles of me in my rig.


Either grow up, or shut up.


There is tons of info out there, read it, learn it, use it.
