We are always looking for amazing riders, but getting sponsored or being an ambassador isn’t the easiest thing. However, it is not impossible!
This is the general flow:
1. Start with your local shop. A shop sponsorship is the fundamental way to begin the sponsorship process. This is how you get your first introduction to Sales Reps, get on-snow film days with the shop team manager, access product deals to keep you gear fresh and ripping hard, and of course it is a great way to meet fellow rippers like yourself to help push your progression. Stop in to the shop often, support them by purchasing your gear there, begin talking about sponsorship with their team manager, get out for a day of shred with them so they can size you up.
2. Prepare your “Portfolio” (your resumé of action shots, season video edits, contest results, magazine coverage, trips you have made, faces you have ridden, current & previous sponsors, etc.) We want to see that you're out there trying to make a name for yourself and have the results to prove it! This collection of assets can also help get into step one (above - Shop Sponsorship). If you don't have a portfolio, that means you're probably not ready for sponsorship.
Remember, the less you look for it, the quicker it will find you. Just shred, and if it was meant to be, people will recognize your skills and all things will fall into place.
Cheers,
