Ok real talk it was way sicker when companies made their team by sponsoring new riders instead of offering better contracts to already presented riders. (To make sure you don't get the wrong idea, I do not mean at all that I think I should be sponsored my skiing has ass cancer)
but like sponsoring new riders is how we have new generations of skiing. In an extreme example if all companies were just basically trading skiers between themselves, no new skiers receive recognition because way fewer people would see their shots and the ski industry would eventually just burn out. Obviously that is an extreme example but just so you get what Im talking about.

Hey! Obviously not too great that ur apparently not sponsored yet. (I thought we were friends man). I know u did have a rough go with industry fucking u sidesways (edollo, the bunch) First step I would suggest is followoing and unfollowing everyone on insta to get tht mass following man. Then I would say make ur self more edgy by smoking some cannibie indica no one likes a square bro. Don't worry tho man uve always known from the start that are platform is gonna launch you to greatness, just gotta wait for the industry to get woke.

All the big brands dropped Freeskiers in like 2010-2014 and funneled the money to Racing, BC Touring because it makes more money. Freeskiing had way more come up athletes who sponsors paid in like 2000-2008 it was sick

big sponsors don't need teams anymore, instagram is fucking up the previous model for content creation & consumption... At this point, having a freeski team is practically a gesture of good will for the big companies that cater to the bottom line above all else.

This. Why pay some kid to drop an edit when you can just post on social media for free and reach 10x the audience?
