Hey,

I’m the development coordinator for a major pro team. We are always looking for hot new talent and would love to sponsor you without ever seeing you ride or even knowing who you are.

All you need to do to get heaps of free parts, clothes and kicks from some of the best names in BMX is hook us up with your parent’s credit card info. We just need those details so we can get a uniform deposit. The super cool leathers all out top pros ride in (and you soon!) cost us big dollars, so I’m sure you’ll understand.

So just to recap, message me with your dad or mom’s credit card number (don’t forget to include the last three digits on the back) and will send you heaps of cool stuff and then you’ll be doing flip-whip lawnmower flyouts just like Terry Adams, just with more pro stylez.

have your friends give you some cash money and boom!  sponsored!  that's all "sponsored" is.. someone gives you money or something that costs money..  keep at riding and take it seriously for a few years and see where it takes you..you might be surprised. just make sure to have fun :mellow:

Don't worry about getting sponsored... ride your bike, have fun, get to know the other riders in NYC, go to Contests, Jams and other BMX Events...

Most of my friends also say i should get a sponsor but the problem is that they dont know the level of tricks and style you need to become sponsored or even well known in flatland. Good Luck tho!

Colony's thing is if you ask them to sponsor you, you will go straight to the bottom of the list.
If you hassle companies you won't get noticed. Key is to have fun with the sport and gradually become good, then, if the times right others will notice you.
You must ride for fun first and foremost.  :mellow:

I would like to answer seriously, but your situation isn't like it.

I actually do have a legitimate tip for getting sponsored... come up with tricks and a style of riding that NOBODY else is doing.  Simple as that.

I know 13 year old skateboarders equate being good with having sponsors, but it's just not like that in flatland. just focus on progressing and enjoying the ride.
