Answer 1

Basically the only way for you to get recongnized is through exposure or knowing someone big (connections are always helpful: thorough giving you small video parts or helping you get introduced to companies), be it meeting some shop owners, skating with their riders, placing well in competitions, and online edits. You also need to be able to skate a variety of obstacles, not just flatland.

Answer 2

I doubt you can do all those tricks nollie and switch but w/e

I'll go with it.

this is my second time answering one of your question.

sounds like you got a good bag of tricks.

but remember you need STYLE.

Go get some friends with a decent filming camera and go film.

if you can Drive to different cities for different spots that would help

make a 1-2 minute part, make sure to have lines and make sure it doesn't show the same trick or spot over and over.

when you make your 1-2 minute part put it on a dvd or something and go to the store you want to get sponsored by and if it already has a team ask for the team manager.

if they don't have a team ask for the owner of the store if he's not there give it to one of the employees and ALWAYS go back, and ask if the owner or team manager have watched until they tell you YES or NO your on the team.

wow kid I really doubt you can do all that in 6 months.

sorry gotta call bull on that.

edit-

you can do switch tre flips but can't kickflip down a set?

well i can help you with that..

first before you try to kickflip down S**t make sure you got your kickflips good.

i mean good they have good pop, you catch them, and they level out. once you got them this good, just approach the obstacle you want and just kickflip as you would flatground and wait for the griptape to face you then naturally your back foot will come down to catch it and your front foot will get on it too..

remember aim for the BOLTS

I also noticed you spelled haha "jaja"

your hispanic or latino  right?

so am i =]

Answer 3

If it was my shop I would definetly consider you so what I would suggest doing is practice landing those tricks then go to the shop and ask them if they can watch you skate and see if they'll sponsor you and then its up to them but don't stress about getting everything right,have fun!

Answer 4

depends who you want to be sponsored by, you have a 50/50 on a local  place. by a major company probably not, do kick flips on 5 stairs and learn to do a tre flip and hard flip major tricks like that.
