I took a look at that Pirahna thing; too bad for them, they're weeding out out a lot of good riders with that age limit.
If you're good, it won't matter too much whether you enter comps or not. It always helps if you do, though, because sponsors like it when people see you competing (and winning, hopefully) with their products.
Just get a friend to follow you around for a couple weeks and get tons of footage of you doing the craziest stuff imaginable, and put it together into a little video; then send it to your favorite company. Or, if you live in an area that has a lot of ski reps, get one to watch you ride.

Isnt 16 years old a little young to get sponsored by red bull? I would try a local ski shop or something if I was ever good enough to get sponsored.

you must remember that all of the Powdergirl chick are damn fine, too. THAT is why they're sponsored. Find a girl rep for a company, get your mack on, and then you can get sponsored. hehe do it the Loubek way.

The problem is that to get sponsors, you have to compete in big comps and if you dont have sponsors, you need lots of cash to compete...
and when you live in the middle of nowhere, it's hard to get any visualisation.
