How To Get A Skateboard Sponsor - Make A Video\nMake a "sponsor me video" of your best skating so that even companies on the other side of your country can see you in action. Show your best  \nSkateboarding Sponsored \nskateboarding moves and make it short because companies get lots of long, boring videos from guys and girls who suck. Think of something wacky that'll make a possible sponsor take notice (they get dozens of videos from kids every month.) You may end up making several "sponsor me" videos as your skating and camera work gets better.

Is this through school?\n\nIf through the school there are organizations that can help with it.  Such as the big candy sales, car washes, selling flowers at the school which can be delivered, a bake sale, etc.\n\nIf it is through an outside group....\n\nYou can do some of the same things, but you can also go to businesses and ask them to sponsor your squad.  Which you will give them a letter of thanks and for their taxes (since it should be a non profit organization).  You can also have inexpensive t-shirts printed up where the team name is on the front and the back lists the sponsors.  You can probably get a tshirt printer to give you a break if you have them put their info on the shirt too.

my favorite shoe brands are DC and eS. As for skateboards you need trucks bearings wheels bolts griptape and a deck to make a complete board... for trucks i suggest independant, they last forever... just make sure you NEVER NEVER EVER get royal trucks, just from minor skating mine snapped in lik 8 places. for bearings um, it doesnt matter too much, bones swiss are the fastest but the most expensive. wheels, anything, i get 53mm not too small, not too big but it seems people buy smaller. bolts are just screws they dont matter. griptape i ride Iron Horse, just dont get a blank brand for griptape, theyr no good.... Jesup and Black Magic are good brands too. ok and for Decks, or the actual board part, they are all basicly the same, element and zero are good, so is blind, and i guess try anything except girl, i hate those boards... some other companies i can think of are enjoi, flip, almost, darkstar, mystery, baker, alien workshop (i HEARD that these were the best)....... well for myself i ride blanks, i go through boards alot so i cant afford a $50 deck, buy from blankdecks.com, they make the best ones

Get a job with one of the corporate sponsors and play your cards right! ...it seems the only chance to get tickets is by winning them through competitions like on Yahoo!

To be honest I'm kinda out of the loop with the good skate brands these days but I've alwasy found that the guys at your local skate shop will know what's up. Talk to one of them, if they are cool they will hook you up with what you need to know. If they aren't cool and throw attitude well, they suck and go to the next shop. Good luck and have fun.

Just think about what would interest you in skateboarding then direct your questions to obtain that information. When did they start, how much practice time, competitions, etc..\nWho knows, you might have a future as a reporter.

Wow that's terrific. Try your local gymnasium for contacts in that area. You might be surprised with your response. If you can keep it up I am sure you will get sponsored. Good Luck we might be seeing you at the Olympics or Commonwealth games one day.

Ask some of your local businesses, that what most people do. Here a girl's softball team approached mine and another man's business and we contributed for Uniforms and some equipment. I even went to most of their Games and brought them Snacks and Drinks. It was fun and there many out there that will do this, IF, the team will go around and Ask and Inform the potential Sponsor(s)\nDo not underestimate the small businesses too, Heck, Bob's Bar and Grill may surprise you, or, Julie's Bouncing Animal Pet Shop. ;-)

Ok well, believe me i know what im talkin about. I think you do need skateboarding shoes... I have been skating for about 5 years... and i can NEVER get near enough the same... just good grip with reugular gym shoes. It makes it basically impossible to ollie at all. Skating shoes pretty much work all the same, i pick whatever looks the best... but i recently found out that DC shoes are more for showing off then actual skating... But ya... I think you do definetly need skating shoes...\n\nAlso, once you start wearing them, you will find out that skating shoes are MUCH more comfartable than regular shoes...

I don't think you understand the system. This form has to be provided by someone you know - not some random person here.\n\nFurthermore, that person must prove the financial means to support you if you don't have a source of income yourself, and pledge to support you. I seriously doubt you'll find a sponsor here.
