generally you get that stuff from competing or adventuring of some sort. you make a name & reputation for yourself - and one day - you call and say 'hey - im competing/adventuring and doing well - sponsor me and i'll run your gear' - and thats it.

(or youre doing SO well - they just come to you)

basically you need to convince someone that YOU are worth giving free stuff to - and that your exposure will help their business will do better.

good luck.

It isn't free by any stretch, they might give you a discount if you are lucky, then you will have an agreement to show up to X amount of shows and expos, to place in X amount etc etc. The easiest way is if you know the owner of a smaller company and start that way then go onto bigger things.
