kelly i've never seen you do a switch 5, or even a 5 with a grab, and i've never seen you do any sort of corks.

When you're good enough, companies will come to you. Make a vid, send it to all the small companies like ninthward. Convince them that giving you free stuff will help them sell skis.

first you should stop saying how much youve been progressing in one year, nobody will like you, but at this rate you should be able to get sponsored by next season or maybe even now since youre so young

I love how people all mention 9thward like it's easy to get sponsored by them. It's not like Armada-hard but to be on any kind of major ski company flow, and I would consider 9thward to be major, you still gotta throw down some maaaad steeze. Look at the guys that ride for 9thward.
You probably need AT VERY LEAST 7's all 4 ways with style, 270's all 6 ways with style, the capability for some bigger spins, and definitely either some 450's in your bag or some sick inverts or rotation patterns(ie, rodeo, cork, flatspin, bio, etc).
And don't think you can skimp on shit because you stereotype yourself as a specialty skier, like just a rail skier or just a jump skier. Even Travis Heed throws dirty sevens with style, and he is the best example of a specialty skier I can think of right now.
Go back to the drawing board man.

Thats not true. Most people go to the companies, not the other way around.

unless you're like 11 that's not good enough but keep at it. Work up to some bigger spins and if possible bigger jumps. Try hard grabs. Just mostly push yourself but still make sure you're comfortable

well I know a guy who doesnt even give a fuck about tricks, I mean you have to be able to do a good amount but he cares about steeze. If you can be steezy on rails and do some good steezy spins your set.
I am 14 hate poles can do all tricks up to 7's and 7's too. but my thing is slow spins spinning slow and aaah fuck it Ill ski every thing but I hate big spins. Ill do switch spins also. I looove rails. I am going to give spadancwershizap (sponsership) a try so Ill tell you what happens.

Wait what? you know a guy that does what? Sponsors people? Is sponsored?
Steezy is one thing but you have to be able to do technical shit too. I can't think of anyone that is sponsored by a major ski company that is not technically adept.

no effense man I mean it sounds like your good but if you have been skiing for 1 year and your this good at park means that you probably suck at all mountain which the industry doesnt need.
also you probably havnt built up a passion for the sport like people that have been skiing for basically there whole lives.
third off if your getting sponsered just to get sponsered and to brag thats no reason.
and you have to build up to big sponsors like that one guy said I wouldnt go for a ski company just yet.
