the kid definately has potential but i dont that a sponsorship is happening yet

[smurf88]

Yeah, some of his stuff is pretty sketchy. He's good for his age though.

[crazy_dave]

Urgh new age hammer....

Hes really good for his age, little kid style blows though.

[Sk8r24t]

hahah yeah i know! There is a 12 year old who just became pro..

[fallensk8er345]

He could in like 2 or 3 years

[SkaterBrett]

holly crap that kid didnt git puberty yet and hes like 10 times better then me LMAO.

[scarecrow476]

Take out the primo thing that's a really easy trick. Also do some grinds/slides more gaps/sets and he doesn't neccesarily have to learn more tricks but tell him to fix his style he always has to kickturn after finishing every move. But um sorry if I sound harsh good luck.

[STR8 RIPPIN']

honestly.....thats not sponcerable. What you should do is compare yourself to the other skaters sponcerd by your local shop and see what you have to keep up with. Also remember that it isn't just having the tricks. It's also about style etc. and i dont mean to sound offish but if it is a sponcer video for Kevin (whatever last name is) then it is pretty obvious that he is the one staring in it.

apart from that it was pretty good

Sponsers hate sponser me tapes.

And you're not there yet. Getting closer.

Want a sponser? Dn't show them a vid, show them in person.

[scarecrow476]

Sponsers don't hate sponsor tapes, they do them because they don't have time to see every skater in person. Anyways, I was reading you site smile! or w.e interesting stuff.

[SkaterBrett]

hahah yeah i know! There is a 12 year old who just became pro..

u seen the vid for that with snoop dogg and lil jon and two other guys in it

[Insig]

well tips dont use any of that footage.

[Element 4 life]

well i say the kid is like 11-12 n his legs wont be as half as strong as people our age and above n i think hes doing really well and could be really good in 2-3 years if he keeps it up

[falloffboy101]

As Dave said, urgh. New age hammer. Ok tricks, but shite style.

That might have sounded a tad hypocritical.

[-noxi-]

Val Surf.. We have stickers over here about Val Surf.

[Lucky Luke]

I sent in a video to mainland skate and surf, its better than this, but your's will be better if you throw in a skatepark, ramps, grinds, also, take out the lame primo thing. That video must be 2 mins so, only get the kickflip over the gap, the other ones are not impressive to the sponsors.

[snow_skate]

u seen the vid for that with snoop dogg and lil jon and two other guys in it
oh yeah i saw that video. its funny and i like it alot. feels different with out head. but its cool. lol i can play it on the drums

[Grinding God]

that kid that went pro the one thats 12 im 12 whats his name????

[SkaterBrett]

Nyjah Houston?

[rankz]

That video wasn't really my cup of tea.

[s5940]

[Sk8 Shorty's]

Uh.... My brother is better, and hes the same age.

[Habitat boyo]

nya huaston is a freak i saw him on fuel tv hes sponcer by kola and billabong

[AdioBird52]

He isnt good enough. He is definately good for his age tho.

[Sam Gates]

Nope i dought it.

[360degrees]

Nyjah Huston is on Elementality, he is 12 and he RIPS, he has little kid style though...

[kepress1]

pretty good for 11, but i don't know that he can get sponsored. what company is he trying out for?

[jjjordanr]

PS: At the shop we are sending it to.. there are some ppl there who are as good as him.. The shop is called Val Surf.

As stated before, he does have talent.
But as he's so young, he definately needs more time to progress before thinking of starting a sponsor-me video.
He's got all the basic tricks down, but you have to understand that sponsors are looking for style, opposed to the actual tricks.

Like I said, he's young. Let himself progress into Nollie, and some Switch.
With that much talent at 11 years, he's definately got potential.. but don't rush it.

[just skate dude]

he not good enough but hes got potential

[offthewallsk8er]

yea, hes very talented for his age. i wish i could have started skating that young. i started when i was 12 and im now 13. about 11 months. i guess things come to others easier than others. i just learned f/s flips, and fakie f/s flips, and im so stoked right now because they weren't even that difficult to learn i just had to put my mind to it and once you get the spinning withthe flicking, it comes pretty easy. yea its off the subject i know. i thought id just tell all of you for no reason. anyways, back to the main stream. i think that some switch and nollie tricks, with a little more style and some better spots, he could be sponsered by the age of 12 or 13.

FYI- Twisted Transistor video parts

Jon (vocals/bagpipes) played by Lil John
Fieldy (bass) played by Xzibit
Munky (guitar) played by Snoop Dogg
David (drums) played by David Banner


Now back to the original topic.. The kid is good for his age, but this definetly isn't sponserable. Tell him to learn how to tre flip. He needs to learn how to tre.

[emericask8ter]

Nyjah Houston?
It can't be him, because he was just in the damn am. And he is 9.

[nicksallama]

he is good(better than me) but he landed alot of thos sketchy and there were no grinds or stalls(you should add some in there..) but for now, good

[harmonyhalfpipe]

you need to get your flips higer it looks like the tail is touching the ground the whole time, also like everyones saying alot more aother stuff, it looks like you threw it all together in one day, not the best idea to get sponsered, but definite potenital.

[just skate dude]

hes really good but not sponserable yet

[Chodeloaf]

Haha thats funny... right after that primo thingy and that heelflip, he is pushing himself along. Then he hops onto his board fakie, and then kickturns a 180 making him go normal again. Why didnt he just get on normal and not fakie?

[bryce]

I dont think that he is sponserable, and that primo flip should defienetly be left out.
i think wait a few years and get better then try and get sponsered

[chocolak]

I think he's good for his age but needs to work on his landings and getting tricks with a lil' more pop

[snow_skate]

just more speed,hang time,tricks and style. just practice a lil more

[planbplayah]

throw in some nollie tricks and switch tricks and a couple sets and smooth out his landing and hes got a sponsorship

[C-Wiz413]

Your pretty good for your age. maybe in a few years you can be sponsored. :-2:

[chocolak]

get better before you get sponcered

[Stoned247]

theres a couple good little kid skater in Element Elementality Vol 1
