If you live anywhere near a city known for Skateboarding the best thing you can do is spend as much time there as you can. Just skate with the people who take it serious and slowly you will get the recognition needed to be taken seriously by sponsors. Also stay in contact with skater run local shops. They are the people who can help you grow into the personality that can make you a marketable and professional skateboarder. To be honest; ultimately if you have the talent you will be discovered. If you are just another kid who wants to be pro because you don't want to work for a living you should just try and sell drugs, steal or possibly prostitute yourself, as they are far more likely ways of seeing easy cash. If you just love skateboarding and want to do it for the rest of your life...well; an undeserved sponsorship for a kid who isn't ready is the quickest way to ruin everything. (JUST LOOK AT ANTWAN DIXON, its not cool to be a spectacle if you don't back it up.)

It depends on the company you wish to sponsor you. Most companies have ranking requirements for junior players. For example, one company may require you to be top 50 in the country as a junior to be sponsored. Some companies give product discounts as well depending on ranking. Professional level players are sponsored by ranking as well but also what type of television exposure the athlete may receive.

You first have to do really well, and that way you will get noticed by scouts and such.
