HOW TO CET SPONSORED
We're not saying it's right, but a lot of
people get into skating with dreams of
achieving professional status. If spon
sorship is your mission, this list could
help you become the next superstar.
1. Skate everyday for three years.
2. Hang with rippers in your area. If
you can't hang, you must be a kook.
3. Ride only the flyest gear. Steal, maim
or kill for purple Blind jeans.
4. Make a video with six kill tricks and
circulate it around. Only send shit that
you stick, no toe, tail drags and bails.
5. Travel. People will see that you are
bad. Remember, be friendly.
6. Don't send your video to every-
one. Focus on the companies you like.
Include photos, contest results, and
rave about how much you love 'em.
7. Go to all the demos near you and
skate with the pros. Be prepared to
die to get recognized.

8. Don't try and learn every new trick Wheels
that comes out. Pick certain ones
and do them consistently.
9. Don't be a dick. Spraying, focus-
ing, beaming and biting someone's
line will get you nowhere fast.
10. Let the companies call you. If you
are down, they will be in touch.
