LOOKING FOR SPONSORSHIP?

hi there,

here's what it takes to get sponsored:
1. time: to have the ability needed to be a sponsored skateboarder, you should have already been skating 5-10 years.

2. a good video: i need to see you can skate hard, and you travel and skate new and unique spots. a video of you in your driveway or basement isn't gonna cut it.

3. the ability to get people in your area to try our boards: as a growing company it's up to riders to promote business through our website, and get your local skateshops to carry our products. if you can do this i will send you free product for yourself.

too many people think that being sponsored means getting free stuff because you're good at skateboarding.
but it's much more than that.
it's not about what a skateboard company can do for you, it's what YOU can do for a skateboard company.

we want riders who are as involved and devoted to this company as we are.
not someone who leeches free merchandise while never contributing anything in return.

if you are consistently sending footage and pictures, and i can see web orders coming from your area, i can consistently send you free product because you earned it.

if you think you meet these qualifications, or you will in the future, i will be happy to check out your video whenever you are able to send one.

thank you for supporting Worship Skateboards,
i look forward to your reply.

This is wrong. On so many ways.

The number one way to get sponsored:
HAVE FUN!; ▶ Reply to This

Permalink Reply by MOUSE. on August 25, 2009 at 10:25pm: obviously having fun is part of it.
but not the number one way.
you can have all the fun you want but if nobody ever sees you skate how can you get sponsored?
the number one way to have fun: skateboarding
the number one way to get sponsored: be a legit skateboarder.

if you think this is wrong you can keep shopping at zumiez.; ▶ Reply to This

it's the wal mart of skateshops.
putting the skater owned and operated skateshops out of business.
you should be able to find one in your local mall between the hot topic and hollister.

if you're a true skater you help skateboarding in your area by supporting your local shop.

then again if you want all the kids at school to think you're a wicked awesome skateboarder you can deck yourself out in all the stereotypical poser gear available at zumiez, and pick up a life of ryan dvd on the way out.; ▶ Reply to This

i just think they should respect skateboarding by not moving in on towns with s legit shop and skate scene.; ▶ Reply to This

and that's fine.

and trust these t.e.t.'s are making it hard for everyone everywhere, which is why it's so important now more than ever to find the small skater run shops and spend your money there.

giant corporations don't need it as much, trust me.; ▶ Reply to This
