  1. tre flip


  2. You should probably at least be doing 4 or 5 stairs and maybe have a couple handrails if you can.  You should also throw in some technical skating like manuals, grind on ledges, and maaaybe some advanced freestyle stuff if you really want to.  I wouldn't do that but some people do.  For example:  Kickflip into primo, primo flip into casper, and casper flip out.  But most impostantly, just show them that you really like skating.

  3. I would concern myself more with developing a personal style. The best skaters always have their own style of skating, and I've noticed that the ones that get sponsorships faster are usually the ones who get creative. I was 14 when I got a spot on the local team, not because I was good (I'm still not), but because I could make up new tricks. Also hanging out in the shop you want to sponsor you and spending money in there helps a lot. ;)  

  4. if you watch skate videos or go to the local skatepark and see the ams down there thats about how good you have to be. usually you have to have almost all flips down. most grinds. and some other stuff that might impress them. you also have to be able to take those and flip gaps and do hand rails and stuff ( that only if you skate street)

  5. Be consistent and solid with the basics.

    Manuals, grinds, kickflips etc.

    Then throw down some big fancy flips in there too if you can pull it off.

    then do a Mctwist.

    jk.

    and if the owner/scout person is a guy, wear some tight jeans and a small top. ;)

  6. whatever you do make sure you impress them.
