soxs shut the fuck up, just b/c your not good enough to get sponsored don't bring others down. And to get sponsered you gotta get noticed, win comps, make a demo tape and mail it out to every ski company there is.

i know i'm not good enough to a sponsor....but why do people make it the reason they ski now. i thought we did this because it was fun, not to get recognition for how well we ski.

A lot of people want to get sponsored because they dream of getting that free equipment and possibly seeing themselves in Ads for the company or in magazines. For me, I'd just want free equipment so if something breaks I don't have to go out and buy something new all the time.

Actaully, I am with soxripper. Just go out and ski. If you are good enough, you will be noticed and things will fall into place. A lot with being sponsored has to do with being in the right place at the right time.

actually i wouldn't mind free shit either, but did i say i was going to get myself sponsored...no...that's his doing. if i get one then cool, but i'm not going to push for one. i'm just going to do what i do now...ride and try to progress as much as i can. if others wanna film me and do stuff with that then cool. the reason i enter comps is because i hate being on the sidelines watching while all of my friends are having a good time.

sox is right, just go out there and don't throw bigger stuff to go get free stuff. Do it for your own personal enjoyment, or if not that for the sake of competition if anything. But if anything don't worry too much about getting sponsered just go and ski. Enjoy

get really really thick knee pads..less bruises on your knees from 'getting sponsored' will make it a bit easier for you to ski.

yea I think someone said this, but you gotta tell the sponsor how your gonna help them, tell them how your gonna make them more money, i.e- your an instructor at a big mtn and all these rich kids love you and want to buy anything you ride.. or your really good and people will buy the skis you ride cos they think it makes you better.. you have to have a definite style...

yo...talking to people that actually are sponsered say it sucks...yeah, you get free gear, whenever line or Salomon or whomever decides to give it to you....its cool....but it has its downsides

'cuz there are so many crappy little kids, old people, and everything in between that go through the 'experts only' park, and point at the jumps only to yell 'wow, thats a neet bump' while paruzing over em at -2mph...i hate people'

ya first off how in anyway could getting sponcored not be a good thing... free shit and skis
but heres my advice to you, you could get sponcored by a company by sendign them a video but in my opinon going out making a name for yourselft. that would be more impresive and in the end you will probly accomplish more things in your skiing carrier.

wtf did i ever say i wouldn't like to be a pro. of course i would love to be a pro, who wouldn't mind being getting paid to travel all over the world for free and get more free gear then you know what to do with. but that isn't the point i was making when i posted stupid. i just think that too many people are focusing on the wrong aspect of skiing. the kid that started this thread is only what 12 or 13. no offense but i doubt he's got skill like chris booth so just chill a few years and keep enjoying skiing. you'll develop more skill and they may come to you, don't just focus you're skiing on trying to gt sponsored though, you may end up turning into a park rat. remember it's supposed to be fun, and even wiener said it....you may end up in a position that makes the skiing no longer fun. for me skiing does and should always = FUN!!!

Yeah, first of all, u said ure only 13, so that pretty much means you can't throw down everything. And 2nd, i saw a guy that could do a corked out 10, and get turned down by rossi, salomon, and line. Because you can huck dont mean shit, you gotta learn how to do things with more style, and style only comes with more experience.
