Well, for one, good park skiers are a dime a dozen in Summit County (I would say this was good, but in today's world, not great). Really fucking good park skiers are a buck a dozen in Summit County.
Additionally (and not hating), his rail game is good, but the jump game is obviously lacking. The single edit conveyed a really small bag of tricks, grabs, and just general air versatility. Like I said, no hate, it was still good, but these are pretty obvious points.
Also, who knows, maybe he doesn't give a fuck. Not everybody has to attain, or even wants, sponsorship. This is assuming, of course, that his abilities alone would be worthy of whatever you deem a "sponsorship."
i agree on some level, edits from key and breck look all the same to me, i mean yeah theres an odd one that stands out but there are just soo many fucking edits out of these 2 resorts, i want to see something different at these resorts, have fun with the edit
i saw him lmost get his pass pulled at keystone claim/ hes good but go into the park at keystone or breck and you will find some insane guys who are not sponsored
You need Original style, just look at jon brogan, kid didn't throw the most technical tricks. but he oozed with style. That's what they want. Everyone loved it
I mean, ya he's good but seriously there are 1000 kids who can do the same rails tricks at at least 500 who can do the same jump tricks. Do you live in the midwest or something?
yes. could have been easily sponsored 3 years ago. nowadays, not... so many just as good as him or better.
btw. kids you need to realize that sponsorship isn't that sick. some of my homies have several sponsors and its pretty exhausting how much you gotta be a media whore or do good in as many contests as possible. Profit? 3 Pairs of skis, 2outfits and some goggles. Not worth it on the rookie level. the only sick sponsorships are when companies honour your uniqueness. f.e. LINE (only the pro teams) or SAGA.
The economy isn't so hot right now, so ski companies don't have a lot of money to throw out to skiers who aren't really, really good. The only fast track to getting sponsored is by winning competitions, and it's a lot harder to get into legit comps now than it was 5 years ago, even if you're a really good rider. I'm not talking about having an occasional 4 on or cork 9. Really good.
And I just saw the video and he isn't really even like that good. And another weird thing I noticed was he didn't do a blind switch up at all. Not that u need to just saw it
you have a fairly skewed view on sponsorships. 3-4 pairs of skis, a couple suits and goggles = @$5000? poor college kids dont normally have their parents dropping 5 gs on ski equipment on the regs, so this seems to be worth it? and just so you know, LINE is terrible at paying their athletes.
