kate Posted March 2, 2006 Report Share Posted March 2, 2006 are any of you guys sponsored?-I'm just curious, (and bored because the roads are a little too bad for me to make it up to the mountain right now. ) I've been thinking about making a sponsor me video... i don't know if i'd actually send it anywhere, but it would atleast show me what i need to work on i guess.

sexkitten Posted March 2, 2006 Report Share Posted March 2, 2006 Maybe I can get sponsored by Batesville casket company since they have a warehouse nearby. They are my customer. Maybe my company could sponsor you. How do you feel about skiing in a thong? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LineSki Posted March 2, 2006 Report Share Posted March 2, 2006 You should make a sponsor me video. If I was a girl I would be all over that shit. Its so easy to atleast get flowed by a company if your a girl skier and do a little competion. For snowboarding I dont know if it would be harder but for a skiing girl its easy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Papasteeze Posted March 2, 2006 Report Share Posted March 2, 2006 Kate, if you make and send a "sponsor me" video, at a minimum, you'll recieve swag and such. The best way to get sponsors is thru your favorite shop. Since you are a girl they will be real interested in you. There are not enough girls reppin the sport in the freestyle scene. Everyone lists whoever they have recieved something for free as a sponsor. Dont forget to list your mom and dad if they are paying for anything Have someone do an interview with you, list your comps and results, how many days you ski etc etc. Nipples has several "flow sponsors" and more are waiting for his video which should be done this summer. We are sort of waiting to see how he does at this National NextSnow Sports Illustrated Comp he is at now. Full Sponsorship is only for "pro" riders you can find out who they are from the various websites usually listed as "team". Best of Luck! Get out there and make yourself known if that is the direction you want to go. Have fun! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jveix33 Posted March 2, 2006 Report Share Posted March 2, 2006 Man I wish I could get sponsored, but I've got a long way to go. As soon as my bro gets his license he can drive me to BC alll the time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sexkitten Posted March 3, 2006 Report Share Posted March 3, 2006 Do you guys learn flips and rotations on the ground or on the mountain? I am a fairly skilled gymnast and have been thinking about attempting aerials next season. I wanted to wait because I don't want to be injured for my wedding but next year will be a different story. Do you think it'll help to hit the trampoline in my skis for some practice tricks? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do you think it'll help to hit the trampoline in my skis for some practice tricks? tape up thoes edges and get on the trap (and post a video) or just do it on a really warm spring day when everything is really soft Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stevePSSC Posted March 3, 2006 Report Share Posted March 3, 2006 well i learned spins just at a mountain.. but for like backflips i just tried those at my friends house when we had alot of snow last winter.. he built such a big jump but it was so narrow that it was hard to spin off of so i was just trying flips.. although im not gonna go to a mountain and try to be all cool and throw down a plain backflip.. cause i think its gay haha Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sexkitten Posted March 3, 2006 Report Share Posted March 3, 2006 Girls jumping on trampolines! Ha. Do I have to wear a sexy getup like the girls on Kimmel? Actually, I think the trampoline method is going to be the best way for me to learn. If I can get Bob to behave himself with the video camera I will post a clip.
