Don't worry about that. If you are good enough, you can go to a pro contest and throw down. Until you are at that level, being sponsored should be the last thing on your mind. _________________ √ |

its not about what tricks you can do.. there's kids on here that can throw clean ass backside flips that aren't sponsored and then there's guys on here that are sponsored and can't even kickflip
che blanc nailed it nicely.. listen to him.. ride in as many contests as you can and support wakeskating like it's your job..this isnt nascar.. id be more worried about how much charizard is going to be worth next summer |

lake tarpon, che blanc, I disagree with you guys, being sponsored can help you feel your talent is noticed and make you that much more dedicated to wakeskating. You can call me a schmuck, but I now feel much more involved in the sport which is an awesome feeling. I'm probably the in the lower half of the ability spectrum on this site, but yet in TN what I'm doing gets alot of attention at this point. I love being part of a local team. I love wakeskating. And I love: "Wait, you're going to wear shoes?" |

I love wakeskating, too. Aside from my boy Kyle.. I feel like im the only one in my area that really cares about wakeskating. We try to ride everyday but we don't need a shop to remind how much we love the sport. I'd rather have my boys notice my talent on my lake then have sponsors notice it at a comp.. There's only a handful of guys around here that wakeskate and most of them are full-time strappers and everyone knows us as the only kids that wakeskate on my lake. Obviously, having a sponsor would be nice and would help us out but its not something i'll go out of my way to go find.. |

You don't have to ride well at all, just talk yourself up heaps and heaps... If you attempted an ollie 180 the other day, that's pretty much a W2W 360... And you know that Shuv you almost hit? It over rotated, so you're pretty much nailing 3 Shuv's right now...
And always always always divide the actual time you've been riding by at least 4, it makes it seem like you've progressed 4 times more than you actually have (or haven't) |

and that just makes me wonder...how many of us ws.commers actually HAVE landed a che blanc? i know i havent.
and to the OP, skatins about fun mang. being sponsored is just a fringe benefit and the industry's way of saying, "hey thanks, quid pro quo, baby" _________________ R.I.P. JT- we all know you're slayshin up above, smack the lip off a cloud for us!
And there's no way anybody is going to see a manatee, then say calmly " Hey look, a manatee." Those are some scary lookin motherfckers.

Hmm...didn't really cared abt gettin sponsored, just thought of landing as much tricks as possible and get the satisfaction out of it. That's more fun...though with sponsors you get to use free and latest decks and promote to the world how good it was. hahaz...  |
