3) How can you get sponsored?

4) any advise?

Answer 1

I bet TOYOT's 900s are straight legged and no grab ugliness LMAO!!

1) Probably not yet

2) Well rounded park/rail/backcountry/stylish

3) Make videos of yourself and send them to the companies you like and see what happens.

4) Have fun with it until you get really good. If you want to have a career in snowboarding then make it your focus and focus on fun and progression rather than money.

Answer 2

i got friends who can 900 of a 40foot kicker and they arent sponsered... i know a guy from buck 90 (look em up on youtube) who can do 1080s and aint sponsered... make vids and compete in contests

Answer 3

TOYOT, you must be pretty good! too bad your attitude says so aswell, or you could get sponsored. and lol at previous answer, straight leg, no grabs, that's just how i imagined it!

hahaha.



Sorry forgot to answer question - just work on all your skills - spins, grabs etc. the key i think is to be patient... as john lennon says... let it be.

but good luck anyhoo.

Answer 4

There is no way that you are going to get sponsored if you can only do 360s.  I can do 900s and backflips and tweak sick grabs, and i still cant get sponsored.  If you're doing 360s off a 50 foot kicker, then maybe, but it is really hard to get sponsored.   Sorry.

Answer 5

you aint gettin sponsered and if you wanna get sponsored learn more tricks you at least have to be able to 540 720 is a lot better chance for early sponsorship tho and you need good rai skills if your gonna do slopestyle contests and win some contests and get noticed

Answer 6

watch snowboard videos.  that is what you have to do to get sponsored.  Watch MPD's "We're people too" those guys are the lower level of sponsoring, so it gives you an idea of what it takes to get into the world of sponsored snowboarding.  Those guys are d**n good.  It takes a lot these days to get sponsored.  

If you just want to get hooked with with free c**p from your local shop, you just need to be on of the best at your mountain.  

Have someone video tape you.  That way you can see how good you actually are.

EDIT: One more thing, get to know your local shops and reps.  Ride with them if you can.  Getting hooked up at this level is step one in the sponsored snowboarding world.  Also, start entering into local comps.  And try to find some guys to ride with who are all better then you, and see if they will let you tag along.  Make sure you keep up even when you get scared, and you will get better fast.
