dont worry so much about getting a sponsor. keep skiing hard and throwing down and if you deserve one, they will come to you. enter some comps and own everyone and they'll notice

gymnastic tramps are like 100 times better than backyard ones cause they get u goin so much higher with the same amount of effort. i think they get u higher cause their tarps or bouncy part thing arent as stretchy and the springs are a lot longer
u have ot make sure u stay in the middle though cause if u come down from goin real big on the edge ull get launched across the tramp real high n land off of it if u dont suck in the bounce or somethin

If your 14 and allready throwing 7's just keep at it and keep working on bigger and better stuff and getting it all dialed with style. Then you won't have to worry about finding sponsors they will find you. Also get a tramp from jump king or ebay for like 150 bones, and get on it every day you can and just practice for as long as you can each day. Also if you can go to your local gymnastics place and work on a real gymnastics tramp and work on learning big stuff.

just make sure you have style on everything from 1-7 before you move on...i see so many kids claiming 7s and 9s but with the pencil style...to most style means more than huckage

I'm 18 and I STILL jack off to victoria's secret magazines...

Just enter local comps and build a 'grass-roots' foundation by getting to know the local people who have influence. Start little with ski shops and maybe a small resort. It's common sense - the more people you know, the more connections you have. Then when you win competitions where sponsors are at, you will be able to just go up and talk to them because you've gotten to know them.

Don't ski to get sponsored though, because I can almost guarantee you that won't work. Ski because you love it, don't brag and flaunt about tricks, because if you are being sponsored, there are other kids just as good and better than you riding for the same company.

well if your telling the truth and you can do all those tricks than first:
you make me feel bad cuz i'm not learning shit very fast.
second:
If you look through mags and shit i'm sure youll notice that all sponsors give a damn about is syle.
third:
Don't ski to be sponsored, but its still good to have a goal.
