What is the requirements to become sponcerd

[sickle]

i was just wondering wat is the requirements to become sponcerd . Like what type of tricks you need tobecome sponcerd

[NitrousX]

You can get sponsored even if you cant push on a board. There are no requirements, but send in a skate video to a company or skate shop, these are usually called "Sponsor me" videos which are usually burned or tossed, unwatched and trashed.

If you really want to get sponsored make a video, pray to god someone watches it, or have good connections with people in the skate industry, or you can do it the old fashioned and most effective way, compete at the tampa am.


edit: Just to let you know, sponsorship isn't all that great. Some people describe it as a job, you skate for a living thats good, and you get a shitload of free stuff, but you have to get pictures by deadlines.

You didn't answer the question. But lets if a person watches the video what tricks is he/she looking for. (e.i. 360 flip, kickflip........)

[Hank's Shank]

You are gonna want to be SUPER stable on your board. Like top speed through the streets, no worries. At the park you can use every box and ramp for at least a few tricks. (And not just an ollie or boneless)

You are gonna want to be able to skate switch. And that means switch flips of different kinds. At least a bit. And be able to clear gaps and negotiate drops switch.

You are gonna want to be able to do more than 50-50 square ledges. A big grind/slide bag to pull from is gonna be essential.

Get tech or go big. If not both. Ramp or street, it makes no difference.

Hahaha.Look at all the mistakes in your writing.(including your sig)

[.pie.]

Hahaha.Look at all the mistakes in your writing.(including your sig)

I see but one (Advertisements) and it looks more like a typo. Anyway, if someone wrote "sponcer" on the tape, it is totally different from an internet forum signature. Stop being so pedantic.

[Hank's Shank]

^^^^
Told.

[SlimJim_junky]

I noticed alot them.Just thought it was funny.

[dsc6072]

A lot is two words. If you're gonna smartass someone, do it correctly.

[SlimJim_junky]

Are you blind?

1.He didn't capitalize Thomas.
2.missed period
3.missed period
4.missed period
5.missed apostrophe in "i'm"
6.missed comma between Bel Air and Maryland


I'm not making a big deal out of this.I just had to prove dsc6072 wrong. :-3:

NOTE:I said mistakes,not misspelled words.

[Hank's Shank]

It's no big deal, you dont need to completely Korect on the internet.

(It's a pet hate though)

[SlimJim_junky]

(It's a pet hate though)
What the hell does that mean?

[dsc6072]

If it's punctuation, then you are still guilty. There are two spaces after the period, bro.

[SlimJim_junky]

Whatever dude.Lets just shutup.

[evilcheese00]

Who really gives a flying **** about grammer on a forum? Seriously.

What does it take to get sponcered? A big cock?

[muzz16]

That's grammar.... o god i just became that guy...*head in hands...blah basically it's down to who sponsors you, to how good you have to be...you just need to have a good attitude i guess because i've seen some real crap sponsored people...like worse than me and i take photos more than i skate!

[jack_morris]

if your lookin to get sponsored style plays a big part in it. also diferent tricks or tricks down big sets of stairs or rails

[ROCKon]

What does it take to get sponcered? A big cock?

That cracked me up.

[zeronoah]

you probably dont need to know how to spell, so you shouldnt have to worry about that one.

[crazy_dave]

You usually need to be completely consistant at all normal tricks, down gaps, rails and stairs. Plus skate really well switch and need too do everything really fast with STYLE!

[NitrousX]

You didn't answer the question. But lets if a person watches the video what tricks is he/she looking for. (e.i. 360 flip, kickflip........)



i was just wondering wat is the requirements to become sponcerd .



There are no requirements...



I believe I did..

[enjoy death]

being good on its own will not always get you sponsored.i used to see this guy at my local skatepark who was really good, 540flips and darkslides good.he couldnt get sponsored by anyone.i think that getting sponsored involves being in the right place at the right time.

[w1skater]

I didn't want to start a new thread so im gonna post on here. I was just wondering what tricks you have to be able to do to be on flow for a team. Also do you send in a "flow me tape"?

[enjoy death]

what do you mean by "flow"?

[Hank's Shank]

Getting flowed free gear is similar to being sponsored.
Although I used to get free skickers from a local skate shop a few years ago to put on grind boxes and ledges when filming. Discounts in the store. Not much of a flow but hey.

There is no magic set of tricks that will get you sponsored or flowed gear. You have to be a solid skater who gets seen.

[enjoy death]

knowing the shop owner might get free stuff or maybe you could ask for free stuff its worked for me a few times

[dsc6072]

You most definitely have the WRONG attitude about skateboarding if you are asking how to get sponsored. It's as simple as this: If you love skating that much then keep doing it. Eventually someone who matters in the industry will see how much you love it and how much time you have devoted to it and they will put you on. This all assumes that you aren't a prick, of course.

[crazy_dave]

^amen brother :D

[FIGHT!]

ummm learning to read and write may be a good start...

[Freaky Styley]

Shhhhhhhhh... Trade secret. :-3:

[muzz16]

[SlimJim_junky]

Do you really have a team or whatever?

[dsc6072]

i never knew about that one....i better check the guys i'm sponsoring!
Hey dude can I get sponsored? I'll give out your flyers to all the kids at my school and tell everyone how cool your company is plz plz give me a free shirt and some decks or something I'm sponsored right? Let me know give me mad props on getting your topic stickied OH SNAP mean.

[muzz16]

hahaha

"Do you really have a team or whatever?"

yes, and to answer your next question....no

[PopwarPunk]

My next question was something along the lines of, " Are you really a heterosexual drag-queen?"

I guess you aren't.

[muzz16]

no you must have misheard someone...heterosexual queen!...psch theres no drag there

[PopwarPunk]

Wanna make out?

I'm totally disease free.

[PopwarPunk]

Oh, oh, oh.

Heterosexual QUEEN.
I thought is said QUEER.
I'll admit, it didn't make a whole lot of sense.


So, nevermind, I don't play for that team.

[muzz16]

there are teams!? where the HELL is the ball then!?

[FIGHT!]

this is very funny shit...

Heres the deal to become sponsored you need to be able to do every trick known to man. Or be the son of a sponsored skater or sell your soul.

[Sk8erCr8er]

[Zero Skater]

Requirements to be sponsored is basically to skate good. Thats really about sums it up. They don't look for specific tricks (I.E. < its i.e. not e.i. 360 flips and kickflips)

[zeronoah]

muzz, youre a sick bastard.

[STR8 RIPPIN']

You need to be willing to represent as well. Enter comps etc.

[NIGhtMAre]

to get sponsered you need to skate in ways people haven't already seen or go ollie a 40 set.

[offthewallsk8er]

congratulations, str8rippin, you revived a 2 month old thread!
and to get sponsored, be a total ass and make your own show and pick on people trying to make it seem unscripted and do a few ollies and be able to 180 a 6 set....it worked for bam.
o yea be able to do figure eights in your car,

[falloffboy101]

^^amen brotha. i wanna get sponsored to get free shit and boards.
