QUESTION: When I get to the top a really steep hill, I kinda freeze up... What did you do when you were starting out?
ANSWER: Hi Ashton I think it is best to go step by step, steeper and steeper. but you'll allways have to conquer your fears, cause there's allways something more challenging out there. Just take a moment to visualize your line again or on a normal slope go through the basics again and you'll reach the point where you know that you can do it. Just keep it up, shred as much as you can and your skills such as your cofidence will grow. Cheers Tom

QUESTION: Hey Thomas, I was wondering. What chance is there that a 13-year old could get sponsored by spyder for slopestyle skiing.
ANSWER: Hi Jake I'd say just work hard and train as much as you can. Collect some Shots and and show off your skills in a small videoedit, then send the whole thing to the spyder headquarters in Boulder Co. you can find the adress on the Spyder Homepage. Ride on Tom

QUESTION: Hey CR, I was wondering. What are the chances of a 13 year-old getting sponsored? Should I try some local shops aound the mountains i go to, or should I try to go big and send some video to Spyder?
ANSWER: Hey Jake. There is certainly a chance of a 13 year old getting sponsored, it all depends on your skiing and a good attitude. The best thing you can do is put together a resume, a video, and some photos and send it into the Spyder office in Boulder. The address for that is on the Spyder website. The best information to put on the resume is a general bio about yourself, any competition results or things that you have done skiing, and your plans for pursuing skiing(what you plan is for the future.) Good luck with it, buddy. I hope the best for you. CR
