Oh, like indy on a slope?

i grew up around some of the sickest kids, all my friends were sponsored except me.

now they've all quit except one, who was the best so that makes sense.

Did you want to be sponsored?

Who doesnt? I mean for a skater that's like one of the best things that could happen to you.

If I skated, I wouldn't <_< Not everyone wants to make a career out of their hobbies.

being sponsored means that you recieve product from the company for being good, and you are expected to wear said product while skating.


i always thought it would be sweet to be sponsored, but i never really tried hard enough. i just used to skate with my friends and drink beers because it was fun.

I know two people who are sponsered, they're sponsered by really small-scale brands though. i don't even know the names.

You don't really have to turn it into a career. A lot of my friends have small shop sponsorships, which basically means they get free stuff, no responsibilities (apart from skating it and telling people about the shop).
A lot of shop owners simply like to reward the people who are good because they drive the local scene.

Like on a halfpipe.

yes. :( (first and last smiley I ever use)
