Do I have a big chance of becoming sponsored? (skateboarding)?

Yes, if you skate everyday you will get better. but mostly, it's in your desire and motivation that will make you better. if you're skating just because its "cool" and you are trying to get sponsored, you might get frustrated that its not happening and give up. don't get mad because you cant land a trick over the course of several days. I thought I skated alot, doing an hour to two hours a day, but jeremy rogers skated for 8 hours a day everyday, and that's pretty . You have to skate because you enjoy it, then over time it will get easier. For me, it took a year before i started landing 360 flips all the time. I mean i could land it every once a while, but it took a year to really grasp the whole concept and preciseness of the movements and momentum needed. its all about dedication, motivation, and the mentality to never give up regardless of what others say or think. Just be you, skate everyday, and learn. If you do that you will be fearless, and skate like a champ. Oh, and trick tip videos, those suck. I've been skating for 7 years and the best way to learn a trick is to teach yourself mostly. You can see how others position there feet and then mold it into your own way of doing the same trick. Because everyones foot size and board width/setup is different on those videos.
