Not to be an asshole or anything, but over 1/2 your tricks looked like shit. Work on your style and come out of it cleaner. Im no park expert, but it just didnt look right. And besides all of that you're not good enough. Keep up the work though.

you need more diversity than lipslide and 3s. you need more 5-7 and more technical tricks on rails

You kinda suck. But in a good way. Learn some corks, switch 7s, spins on rails, style, and spin the other direction and your set.

get some more switch and tech tricks down. try to develop your own little style. something that makes you different from everyone else other than your age and size. when you ski, someone should be able to say, hey thats BLOHHAHLFK!
get some urban shots, or some stuff of you and your friends just goofing around or something. its all just solid park skiing. same hills, same tricks sort of thing. try some more difficult kink rails too.

newsflash, you don't need to be that good to be sponsored, it all depends on where you ski and who you know. If hes that good and rides at a shitty little mountain that everyone sucks at he can get hooked up, those skills in park city wouldn't cut it but I don't think the kid is that bad. Maybe you should get some footage of yourself skiing, show you're diverse and can do lots of trhings well since your bag of tricks isn't that big.

yeah your really good, but not good enough for a sponsor. you need more style and different grabs, and mabye more switch stuff, then you could mabye have a chance.

agreed. From what it looks like little man, you're on the right track. Unless you're over 13 I don't think you'll get a sponcership though. But I can almost garuntee that if you keep improving in a few years you will be, and be winning comps. Good stuff.

ok constructive criticism: half of your tricks are leftside 360s, you clearly have the skill to to 5s and 7s on those jumps so lets see it, also throw in some unnaty spins. more tech rails would definately help, i really liked the switch up. maybe even go for some urban rails. and finally you definately need more switch tricks, switch onto rails and off jumps
i think you have the potential but that vieo didnt really show it

Some people may dislike the words of your chosen music. Unless the lyrics really represent who you are, I would consider finding another song, possibly an instrumental.
Skiing was good.

Hey Jesse,
You had some good skiing in there. The camera work was kinda shaky and hard to watch. Hit me up with a message and we can work on it.

Your pretty good man but you need to work on style a little bit cut the pizza out before rails, grab your skis. Overall though you are pretty good keep it up.

I wish I was that good when I was your age. But here's what you need.
Don't show the same trick more than once if you can help it. Show your best 360, your best 540, your best 720, etc. Show only the biggest rails, and only the most techy/clean/stylish tricks.
You want a video where every shot looks like you best. Not one where you have 5 or 6 really good tricks, and then a bunch that are pretty good. Also try to edit it a little better, some shots could have been cut off a little later, or a little earlier.
Just some suggestions, but you are a ripper for sure.

the tricks are great but i think you should stop doing pizzas. there are other ways to slow down. pizzas just make everything look like crap. also like other people said, work on your switch tricks. otherwise a good vid, especially for your age.

props man, it looks pretty decent, i wish there were terrain parks when i was your age! a lot of getting sponsored comes down to who you know, so get to be on a first name, friendly basis with your local shop. even if your local shop doesnt do sponsorships themselves (mine doesnt) if they know you are out there rippin the will let the right people know about you. you've got the balls to hit the big features, thats for sure. a lot of those hits from killington were pretty nice when i was up there a few weeks ago, and something like that, all you need to do is keep your head looking over your shoulder and commit and you'll be getting 5's and 7's around no problem.

not to shabby, like most people said work on some of your grabs with spins, i liked that limbo-jib thing, found that funny, youlook pretty comfortable on the rails, jsut try and do a little less snow-polw when you want to slow down, but overall, C+ or B-

dude thats tight i cant do rails for crap but you might wanna add some grabs to the spins.
also speed it up a little, kinda slow. Hit the jumps at maybe 5-10 mph faster, same w/ teh rails.
Add some switch 540s in there too. Those look sick.
