[radoldrat]

You definitely deserve a sponsor my guy! And yes, some trick tip videos from you would be fantastic!

[DagnerJayson]

I love your Goals and watching you fuckin RIP IT👊🏻. Much Love & Respect for the link👍🏻🛹🐀❤️

i like the skating you do, it's refreshing to see someone that looks like they're having fun rather than 'tech trick on big obstacle' it's good to see someone remind you why we all do it in the first place

[stickersteve]

Appreciate ya big deck! Go get you some!. I see no reason why you couldn't get hooked up with some product. I like how you're goin about it too. It does seem way harder to get any recognition unless you live in California haha

[WhatHandle]

This is awesome. I recently took it up myself and its the hardest thing that ive tried to do but keep it up i enjoy your videos

[Ryan-mfsq]

I've always loved that you skate shaped decks. That's mainly why I watch your content. You make it look fun and make me want to skate my Winkowski deck.

[dbandthekings]

Hey man, just wanted to say I understand what you’re going through. Been there myself got the T-shirt. Yeah man life is hard and when you got a family money is tight and it’s hard to have your own hobbies. Either way I just want to say I enjoy watching you I agree you do you have market ability to guys like me who are older and still skate have families and regular responsibilities. You inspire me and I’m sure you inspire a lot of people like me. Keep the good fight bro someone’s got to be paying attention

[Schnarkel]

Big props per usual man! Love your videos and your humility and sincerity with the way you speak. Keep at it and God Bless!

[radratcomics]

I'm sure you'll seal the deal when you get that switch benihana clip

[StuffnThings]

I hear you man. Money is tight and getting tighter all the time so buying skate gear is getting harder. I wish you the best and hope you can get some sponsors. 👊

[jamiewalsh]

Keep on enjoying skateboarding and having fun. Sponsorship doesn't equal money in skateboarding, just some free stuff. As long as you are having fun that is all that matters.

[fatdadskatesbad]

Yeah dude get after it!!! Watching this on my lunch break at work and def in the same boat as you. Real cool that grind king hooked ya up!! If you are serious about it put in the work and get after it man you got the skill and the following. Cant wait for your sponsor me part to drop gonna be so dope. If anyone can do it you can man. Thanks for the shout out too homie!!! Get after it!! 🤙

[RaggedyJan]

dude as another skater with a full time job and kids, i feel you. its tough to justify spending money on skate stuff. i think you could get on flow somewhere, your content is cool as hell. even if you dont i hope you at least keep making videos, you are an inspiration for guys like me!

[Faerie-Princess]

Yeah! Georgia skater! Hell yeah. We got some pretty ok selection of parks if ya near Atlanta.

Also i know that feel of adhd. What trick was i gonna try again? 😅

Dear Prospective Sponsor for BDE,
I am the demographic this man can reach. He has the skills, personality, and attention to detail to bring your company to life and wanted by guys like me. If you are not marketing to the demographic with the means to invest in skateboarding then you are probably getting it wrong in 2025.
Signed,
Future Customer

I actually had no idea that you were aiming for something like

[shingobiggs]

Yo! I'm from Cobb County! I had no clue you were in GA. Dude, however you need help/support, please let me know. After Ambush and TMDK shut down, there's definitely a need for skateshops.

[TheDylonCarter]

Your best bet is team grindking. Or a smaller brand, like life skateboards. Idk if u got a local shop, maybe they'd hook you up. Dlx is known for sending ppl boxes if you advocate their products in videos. Dad board just got a box. Or try to reach out to other content creators, see how they're staying afloat. One resort would to try to monetize your yt vids. You might have to male some corny videos to get eyes on you, but it only tales 1 viral video to get a sub explosion. Anyway good luck!

[yeenboutit_]

Yo this is overby we use to skate back in the day. My son has been trying to get into skateboarding. I’ve been showing him some of your videos. We should get together soon. Hit a park or whatever.

[gravelmonarch]

Try and stack some street clips.

Only time I ever got flow was when I made a street edit.

Good luck!
