Switch frontside bigspin!? Props.
But sorry bro, I don't think you'll get sponsored with that tape. You might have a chance, but probably not, most of the tricks were just drops. Find a handrail and rip it up, skate a park rail if you can't find one. Fit more in there.
Also, more advanced flip tricks would be good. Like tre flips, varial heels, and hardflips down stairs. That last kickflip was sick, but I'd also get it cleaner.
Keep the switch fs bigspin, the bs 5050 to drop, and that bs 180 down the bank, and whatever else you really like. Good start.
And nobody bitch about the helmet. My mom made me wear mine for a while.

Not too bad man, try for a little more switch, but that video wasn't half bad.
Keep it up

nice to start of with
i liked the 5050 to drop and the last kickflip and that big set that you ollied but like it's already been said....you need to put in some more advanced flip trick in there. maybe some small grabs too?
peace! :-41:

I saw the beginning but my bro is bitching at the connection.
But I can't wait to finish it, looks good.
EDIT: You skate so damn slow it's annoying. There's just something about the way you skate that would make me want to sponsor you.
As been said, Get some Tre's and add some speed. I expect to hear about you soon kid, good good job.

i liked it. the back 180, kickflip, and bs 5050 down bank was awesome, maybe not enough to get sponsored but you might.
switch front bigspin was sweet to

You may, probably not, it depends how good you are compared to the other people in your area and the other members on the team.

First off i know everyone is being all about helmets but name a pro who doesnt skate transition who's filmed a section wearing a helmet. If your getting sponsorred by a shop they want you to be sellable so people will see you and go "Shit he skates for them, let's buy their stuff" a helmet kind of retracts from that. You need to skate faster and roll away smoother from things because a lot of the tricks in there you just stopped moving.
What big four set were you referring to because i'm sorry the four in that video is not big. You start taking things to that big drop at the end and that is sick, that should just be from the start.
All in all, skate faster, lose the helmet when your comfortable without it, skate bigger things and also get more variety, back 5050 isn't impressive (the one into the bank was) so do something else, learn back tails and such.
You've got a nice style and a lot of potential but i wouldn't be going for that sponsor just yet.

Maybe put some switch or something in there. YOu should go back and get all those same tricks again but much cleaner. Props on the kickflip down the bank though. that was sick! oh and go faster

Everything you got there, do that switch. Your regular stuff should be a lot more advanced; hardflips, varial heels, bs/fs flips, tre's. You need to work on your grinds too. Learn the basics like feebles, 5-0's and smiths, then move onto salads tails etc.
Good luck brah.

that last back 180 was sick props for that and like everyone else said learn better tricks also try to loose the helmet and get that last kickflip again but a bit cleaner you might have a chance it depends how good the other skaters are

It was good footage and all, but since it's a sponsor me video for a shop I will be critical. You skate really slow most of the time and most shops won't want to see that. Also, some of those tricks were pretty sketchy and if you really wanted to be sponsored you would keep doing it until you landed clean, on the bolts.

the kid is decent....but he was skating a driveway at a house and was a little too sketchy for a shop sponsor....keep practicing

Pretty Good ^^
I'd say that you'll be way better soon. You're totally going to TEAR IT UPP.
Stick with it. And about that switch frontside bigspin, it's kinda ridiculous because I can ONLY do them swich.
