Sponsorship doesn't come because of how well you ride. It comes from exposure and attitude. Find someone making a movie and get yourself in there. Get someone with a camera and get some pics and get some shots in mags. Heck even hop onto forums and show your work online. What you can do is pretty much meaningless (sorry to be harsh) but really, I know about 50 riders who are droping 20 ft, djing AND pulling backflips, barspins, you name it. Plus they race, plus they live the lifestyle to get them exposed. HEck I know 5 or 6 that should be sponsored (best street and djers I have seen) that don't want sponsorship...know why..its WORK...takes the fun from a session when you have to pull a one footer manual to 360 kickflip/tabletop...and the if you don't land it, thats money out of yer pocket...
