sponsorships arent like a reward for your level of skiing. companies sponsor because they want riders using their gear who will catch the eyes of other riders and who will rep the product. so if you blend in with other intermediate skiers and arent getting any attention in particular (contests, vids, etc.), companies have no reason to sponsor you.

really? because I thought the term he was looking for was "freeloader"


but in all seriousness, "grassroots" certainly conveys something more appropriate than "intermediate." for some reason that makes me think of people that say "yea, I can do blue squares"

you're 13 and your best trick is a shaky 540? sorry but you're going to need to step your game up big time  if you're serious about wanting a sponsor. compete in local comps and make a promo of yourself this season to get you're name out a little.

armada said they wouldnt spons me cuz i couldnt slide on those metal bar thingys sideways and do whirlybirds off of them

but i dont care anyways because obviously they know nothing about skiing... seriously why would you want to slide on a metal bar it would just ruin your skis and make you look like one of those gangster hippidy hop kids with the big clothes
