Since the dawn of shred, the question of “how can I get sponsored” has been like the on-snow version of the fountain of youth. Those free hook-ups and travel budgets are what everyone is searching for but few seem to be able to find. Luckily for you, there’s sponsorme.com. An online community that allows you to upload your own videos, as well as get in contact with the people in charge of putting product in the hands of future pros. It really takes out the hard work of pushing your DVD on to sales reps when they come through town and goes straight to the source. You’ve always needed a video to get sponsored, now you have someone to give the footy to!
Now you’ve probably heard of this site before, its not brand new, and there are a few similar ones like it. But there is a new trick to this one. Right now, the site is running a contest asking you to submit your best video in your favorite discipline; park, pipe, urban, or big mountain. The winner, in each category, gets $10,000. Ten G’s is far, far more than pretty much any amateur rail jam, and winning one of these is sure to put you on the map of future sponsors. Hell, you could even just drop that money trying to get Brainfarm to edit your next part and really turn some heads.
The deadline for submissions is April 8, and just because we like you, here’s a link straight to the details.
