fizzle Posted August 24, 2009 Share Posted August 24, 2009 my m8 runs the DC team, and also has his own team motiv8, with his own skatewear line of the same name. He is releasing his 1st dvd this xmas. also know quite a few pro borders and teams so will pass the link on 4 u m8... my best m8 owned RADLANDS, uk biggest skate park so he also has a mass of contacts. edit: just watched the clip he definately has some skills but i wouldn't say he's up2 team level/ sponsorship just yet... i would suggest entering some local skate tourneys, teams regularly send spotters out especially to the larger skateparks holding events, other than that keep building up a selection of various tricks, can never have too many in the bag... will pass the linky on anyway as my opinion ain't worth shit!!!

kill1308 Posted August 24, 2009 Share Posted August 24, 2009 He's definately got some potential, but really needs to learn some new moves. Get him doing some ramp work, grinds, more jumps etc. Personally I'd remake the video and include something other than some kickflips etc as I found it a little dull after the first 30 seconds, some better editing would help him too. (not criticising just an honest opinion that will hopefully help ) If he can do other tricks, then be sure to show them, as there's a lot of similar aged kids out there on the streets with this level of skill and more.

pistonbroke Posted August 25, 2009 Share Posted August 25, 2009 I skateboarded for years in my youth, and I never got anywhere near that level. Good luck to the lad. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
