Just skate as much as possible, go to competitions, film some footage which you can give to someone after some networking -its about a gradual progression mostly. But most importantly just don't get all hung up on getting sponsored - always remember what motivated you to start skating in the first place, not a sponsorship but plain old fun.
to get sponsored in skateboarding you have to go to skate parks so sponors can see if your good enough to be on their team.
be good at skateboarding
lolwut? Element is a company in skateboarding...
well there is no bad skateboarding company. It does not matter if you were sponsored by flip or birdhouse what you think is your opinion.
You get really good at skating..

get sponsored by a local skate shop
it depends you can get ameture or pro sponcers
They get paid a lot and get proper photography done of them skateboarding, you can get sponsored, be amazing at skateboarding, and every other reason!
Its not about what tricks you can do. As long as your winning comps and sh*t your well on your way to becoming sponsored
Getting known is hard. Getting sponsored is even harder but, just being able to kickflip a set can get you sponsored. You just have to be seen by the right people. good luck.
