How to get sponsored by MEERKAT GRIND (PTY) Ltd

1. The first step in your attempt to get sponsored by MEERKAT GRIND is your practising:

• Practice everyday, as much as you can, if you are new to the skateboarding, first learn the basics and then work you way up. Once you can flawlessly handle the skateboard, you must learn tricks. Start with the Ollie, and then start adding twist to that if you can develop your own tricks

2. Enter local skateboarding competition

• With your constant and steady practice, you should do well, so come out on top. If you cannot win any competitions, you need to practice harder. This can be frustrating but you must keep at it if you hope to attain sponsorship. Frequently visit your local skate shop to stay updated about competitions and events.

3. Once you have achieved wins in national/local skateboard events, people may begin to notice you

• Representatives of MEERKAT GRIND may approach you but if they do not, you must keep competing, and even get your name out there to sponsors like MEERKAT GRIND. Contact the company and reveal your impressive skateboarding skills.

4. Create a riding video

• MG (MEERKAT GRIND) managers are only interested in sponsoring talented riders. When you try to get sponsored by MG, you will need to create a riding video. Your riding video should contain footage of you riding while you are wearing MG gear. Be sure to provide footage of yourself in various angles so the MG guys can get a feel for your talent ( footage can be street or skate park.) it wont hurt to take a few minutes at the end of your riding video to discuss why MG should sponsor you

5. Mail your video to MG

• The final step in trying to get sponsored by MG is mailing your riding video to MG at skategrind3@gmail.com

TIP: To show that you are committed to being sponsored by MG, follow up with managers, a couple of weeks after you have mailed your sponsorship information.
