I notice alot of people don't know how to make a sponsor video or what to put in it. Allow me to help you.

Most companies ask for a 3 minute (non-stop skating) sponsor video. To impress them more make it 5 minutes long.

Also the tricks you include should be different, if you ollie a 5 stair, then a ledge, then a gap. Whats with all these ollies? is that all he/she can do? Spread out your tricks and don't do flatground tricks much unless its in a run. If you can do something like a switch 180 even if its off a curb or something small, its switch and a different trick it counts alot more. Never show a trick more then twice, Once at regular speed, once in slow motion.

Beep out all cuss words. Looks bad in front of sponsors. If you bail and yell fuck then that makes them think (hmm.. I wonder what he'll do at a demo) sponsors won't trust you. Stay cool and don't get a temper.

LAST THING. Look at a companies team riders, if your no where near as good as them. Then DO NOT send them a video unless your better. It will be turned down quicker then anything. If they are smith grinding a 7 stair rail, and your olling a 4 stair. ITs a waste of time and money trying for them. Start with small local teams first.

I hope this helps everyone. If you have any other questions, email me creative@safe-mailbox.com
