Why can't I get any sponsors? I sent in videos of me going from pizza to french fry to pizza again. Did I not have cool enough background music? I afterbanged when I went to pizza. What did I do wrong? I need free stuff.

Good sponsorship story for you here NS:

So over here in Scotland there is this new company called http://www.vexedapparrel.co.uk and the guy in charge is keen to get into the skiing snowboarding scene and to be honest, when I was speaking to him, he came across like he once read about it in a book. Anyway, his mate told him he should host a comp and sponsor some local young riders. Shit you not, quote from this guy "What do I have to start them off for sponsorship? £14,000 a year?"  (works out like US$23,000).
Eventually somebody stopped laughing and told him no just give them a bunch free hoodies and tshirts. So the comp rolls round at the dry slope and cause I work there I had to help put up the banners and build him a set up to ride cause he was clueless. He had already decided he was going to sponsor the winners of senior male/female ski/board and whoever else he wanted to pick up. This guy didnt even watch his own comp and cause the judging was pretty rank he ended up picking up some seriously average riders. To give you an idea, i was throwing misty 5s, 7s and going bigger than pretty much everyone else to the bottom of the landing. I came last. Guy that came 2nd threw gapered out pencil 7s and maybe a few grabbed 3s.
So yeah if you want sponsored real bad just come over to Scotland.

and question yourself: do you deserve to get sponsored? do you think you can be of use representing a company?

That isn't a sponsorship is it? Isn't it just a proform? I have plenty of ski proforms which are like 45-65% off but, I was under the assumption from my fishing sponsorships that intermediate sponsorship was a quota of free gear, and that a full sponsorship was usually a paid contract to use their gear...

You are so illiterate and incompetent that you have have no idea what you are talking about.  Did you miss the part where be said he was throwing misty 5's and 7's and came in last?   I think that means he competed.  You don't deserve a sponsor ship.  Why would a company sponsor an intermediate rider?  Give up.  Sponsorship isn't everything.

Yeah, it sucks to be 13,
but one day you will be 15 and you won't misread sentences,
and then one day you'll be 16 and make fun of 13 yr olds for misreading sentences,
hopefully you'll turn 17 and no longer misspell,
then maybe you'll turn 18 and purposefully mizzpell,
and you can only hope that one day you'll turn 21 where you won't care, but rather laugh at the whole matter while drinking a beer legally.
