skiing is more fun when you know you earned a good deal on the stuff you're using. i enjoy saving money dont you? this is a very very very very VERY dumb thread but the face that you're getting angry that kids want to get sponsored is strange.

This. The kid just asked a question, and it was in no way claiming he's going to be the "next bobby brown" or that he could even misty or backflip... He was obviously just wanting to put together an edit he could potentially send to companies, and there's nothing wrong/offensive about wanting to make an edit.

There's just too much hate on NS. It makes me want to come back less and less.

I'm not an expert on getting spancercized so I won't even start to answer the OP's question but the flaming on this kid for just an innocent question deserved a little correcting

Dude, we get it, you're stoked that you got some sponsors, hell i'm stoked for you as well. But stop making these threads, you're bringing down the hate hammer so hard on yourself.

You obviously don't have one single clue to what the meaning "Hard work pays off", Do you? The kid is just stoked to be putting out a promo. I would be stoked if I were putting out any kind of footage of me skiing regardless if its for promotional use. Someones just a tad jealous of someone else...

What the hell are you talking about? What hard work are you referring to? Skiing?

By hard work I mean busting your ass, falling and getting back up trying to stomp new tricks. And having the ambition and drive to get your name out there to companies.

Well that's the whole point, isn't it. What we're trying to say is don't worry so much about sponsors right now, go out and have fun, release your stress, forget about life's problems, push yourself, enjoy the mountains and all that jazz. This guy is obviously quite hung up on portraying himself as a "sponsored" skier, i respect him being stoked, but you're in it for the wrong reason if all you want is to get sponsored. You're equating skiing to something like University, which is damn hard work. Most people on here disagree with that, hence the reminder to ski for fun, and not make it too serious, too soon.
Do you really believe that skiing and being a part of this culture should be hard work?

If you want to get your name out there, score sponsorships, do good in comps and make it big I guess. Of course I believe that skiing is all about ripping around the mountain with friends, seshing rails and lapping parks with buds and having fun. But if want to make it pro I guess, You gotta work for it. Thats just how I see it I guess.

That's probably true, but I don't see how coming on here creating claim threads is hard work? I have no issue with this kid, i'm just informing him of the fact that he will now receive an enormous amount of hate, and that he might be too hung up on the wrong things, especially considering that he looks quite young.

Plenty of young kids that kill it. Look at seamus flannegan (sp), willie borem. Both kill it. Young talent is always a great thing to see. Makes me feel humble that young guns like myself are capable of throwing down hard.

Again, very true, but it doesn't negate the fact that this kid is setting himself up for some hate, and to a certain extent rightfully so. Claiming is not throwin down hard, and to be honest, the kids you just mentioned are in a whole other league than this guy.

I think we fundamentally agree, but saying that this guy is working hard is kinda pushin it.

First actual response. But DON'T use a thug rap song or anything like that. Remember that you're selling yourself to a company as someone they want to represent them on the mountain. Songs with good vibes that get you stoked for skiing are always better
