Check out my promo, give your thoughts

You don't look like a chick to me.
Being serious though you the edit is sick. You kill at rails and your jumps are pretty solid, not sure about getting sponsored though, just keep on entering comps and hope something comes up. Wish you luck though.
 
Yeah man, that's a sick promo. Some ill shots right there. Only thing: you said you've had good results in competition. Why not add them at the end of your video! Sponsors are really interested in this. If you're a consistant rider, you have more chance of getting picked. Anyway good luck with that buddy!

Oh last thing! I'd be in heaven if you tell me where the blue ledges are in Montreal!
 
nose tap 270 on was sick!!!! the few jump shots you had looked pretty good too, just work on the backseat landings and maybe add some more jump shots if you've got em
 
bah this is actually kidna frustrationg!! i really want to see this

just because money is tight and you need to replace broken gear does not mean you should be sponsored. or want to be.

your edit was really sick and your really good but just let the sponsors follow as well.
 
constructive criticism: i'd trim the edit down a little bit by taking out a few shots like some of the falls. you had some real bangers and i dont think the handful of falls toward the beginning of the edit made you look as good as you do in the last half
 
I always think that a sponsor me video shouldn't just be about your skiing. Do some talking and show the company how well you can represent them. Just my 2 cents.
 
I am planning on including it with a rider cv and a letter of intent if ever I send this out. this is firstly for a shop that wants to get me onboard and for this I dont need an interview since I skiid with the guy many times.

thanks for your responses
 
Yeah man, agree with the guys up here^ about the crashes, but once past those there were some really sick tricks. Guess whether you get spancerised will depend on how you are as a person and what the scene where you are is like, but good luck.
 
If this is for local shops and think you'll be fine, its a really tight edit and could def get you some deals on gear
 
This is a great point... however you need to extend it further.

Sponsor me videos basically do nothing alone - especially if you're working at a local level.

Your first sponsorship will absolutely not be about money. Never ever will you get money on your first sponsorship, so right out the gate forget that idea. It will be for gear, and it will be at a local level.

Now - step back for a second and think about the whole concept of sponsorship from a business perspective. Don't think that sponsorship is a prize for being good - prizes in contests are that, sponsorship is absolutely not that.

Sponsorship of athletes exists for the sole product of selling more skis. Big companies have pro teams with really famous guys and pay a lot of money because they sell tonnes of skis internationally. Local shops and local reps do it to sell more skis in their region. So you get a local sponsorship when you can sell more skis for a company.

This is where you need to make the distinction - you don't get sponsored because you're good... you get sponsored for being good if you being good sells skis. However you can also get sponsored simply by assisting selling skis.

To understand this is to understand the nature of the system. Its why a ski patroller or ski instructor might get sponsored really easily. A ski instructor is teaching people how to ski, and if they recommend equipment its likely to result in a sale.

My best advice to you (and anyone reading this) is to use the sponsorship video simply as a part of your portfolio and approach. Show that you have talent, and show competition results. But show them more that you attend every contest, and that when you do win you make sure to get exposure for your sponsors.

Talk to reps, talk to shops. Show them that you're at events, and that you're excited about their product. Volunteer to help out around the shop, or ask the rep if you can help him at demo days. Showing that you're not too cool to talk to people and lend a hand can be an amazing way to get a foot in the door.

With a request for sponsorship, you need to show the whole package. You also need to show them in person that what you're promoting is true. Let them see you talking to kids at contests and being social.

Above all else remember that sponsorship is not a prize for being good.

Sponsorship is a business arrangement in which someone gives you product in order to help themselves sell more of it.

 
You're good, but I doubt at a sponsored level yet. Work on actually making the grab on your jumps.
 
i enjoyed it. sick skiing, very tech on rails and smooth on jumps. i wish you would shave your face though
 
Yeah Mat! Some sick rail shots there! 270 TAP! You serious? that was nuts, and you killed that Bdogg rail, thingy. Love the edit man
 
Were not talking about pro level spono here. Im just looking for some help to compete. Shop level, ski help... This isnot realy about my aproach, i know what to do and this is only a part of the application. I just want feedback on the edit.
