So, you want to get sponsored?

• Do you live within the United States?
• Are you aged 14 - 19?
• Are you addicted to skateboarding?

If the above applies to you then you may be interested to know that LocalSkateboardShop.com is right now open to sponsorship applications from young skateboarders who want to kick-start their skateboarding career.

LocalSkateboardShop.com, an online skateboard shop, is looking for dependable, cool and relaxed skaters within the United States to sponsor. If you have some skills, hang out with a good sized skate crew and feel you'd do a good job promoting our online shop then you don't want to miss this opportunity!

If you're thinking that because you don't have 100 tricks down that you shouldn't apply then think again. We're not after skaters who can just do tricks. We want skaters who are passionate about skateboarding, who will represent our company well and who have their own style. So give it a shot, you never know!

What you need to do to apply:

• First thing you need is footage. Get a compilation of your best work up on YouTube and make sure your video includes the LocalSkateboardShop.com logo at the start together with the words "Sponsorship Application Video".
• Important: any applications that don't have our logo and the required text at the start of the video will not be considered. A copy of our logo can be found at http://www.localskateboardshop.com/uploaded/Logo5.jpg
• Second, complete the sponsorship application form below, making sure you've included all the necessary details, submit it and you're done!

The team at LocalSkateboardShop.com is looking to sponsor up to three guys or girls at this point (more later if this works out). While the sponsorship will not exactly be lucrative it will kick-start your skateboarding career, give you something to brag about to your friends, and LocalSkateboardShop.com will gladly provide you with references in the future as you advance your skateboarding career onto bigger and better things.

Applications close 30^th September 2008. So what are you waiting for? Get cracking!
