no but I have friends who are legitimately sponsored and it’s not as cool as it seems. Depends on the company but when that company gives you free shit/money they own you. You pay them for the gear/money through your existence as an advertisement. Do you think Alex Hall actually enjoys meeting the quota for Rockstar energy cans in his ig posts?

sponsorships are a conspiracy by the big ski companies to try and get kids to spend their money on ski gear in the hopes that they will one day get gear for free.

seriously tho it really doesn't seem like anyone who isn't already established is getting sponsorships anymore. The industry only has room for so many pros.

One Time I landed like 4 hookit sponsorships when I was 12, lives my dream of being a pro skier even though I could barely 180. Life was good back then.

Virtika deff has some sort of bot liking and following accounts for them. I commented on one of their pics after some of the David Lesh and they liked 3 of my pictures per day for the next week.

I think sent them a DM calling them out again a few days later and now I'm blocked by @Virtika @VirtikaEU and @DavidLesh. Still tell people what an asshole he is when I see them wearing his gear on the mountain. Fuck that dude and his shitty white-trash company.

Most sponsored people I know got their first sponsorship through a shop, or got sponsored by the shop itself. Plus if you're nice they can give a good word to reps.
