if you clicked on this, you probably enjoy skateboarding.
That would be a good thing, because so do we.

Or, maybe you know some people who do, and you are the photographer – either way, we have something to offer you. We understand that it’s a pretty big world out there hanging with the pros but they aren’t the only ones worthy of attention, so starting this week, we will be featuring a skater on our site every friday.

Interested? There’s nothing to it.

Here’s what you have to do:

• Read this. By entering to be featured you agree to everything that is said.
• Become a fan on facebook, a friend on myspace, or follow us on twitter – that way we can find you easily and see who you are
• Find at least 3 of the best pictures that you have of yourself on a board – try to find something unique and different. Also, make sure to send us the highest quality available, it will make selection a lot easier.
• Answer the following questions and don’t be afraid to get creative:

1. What is your name, and where did you come from?
2. Age/Height/Weight
3. Stance
4. Favorite Spot
5. What motivates you to skate/what are your goals
6. Any inspirations?
7. What is the best trick you have ever landed?
8. Worst injury you’ve ever had?
9. 3 things that annoy you.
10. What is the number one thing that all skateboarders should know?

• Send all of the above (including your pictures) to sponsorships@hopelessusa.com OR as a message on facebook/myspace – if you do so, be sure to send us some links to your pictures, and remember, high quality pictures are best
• Pictures are not limited to skateboarding! If you like to snowboard or you ride BMX, send it all, we don’t mind.
• Once you submit, tell all your friends about it so they can have a chance as well
• We will accept submissions every week until thursday at midnight. We will post the our pick the next day by 9pm, so be sure to check to see if you got featured!
• If you don’t make it the first time, try again, maybe different pictures will do the trick? Sometimes its really hard to single out one person, you may not be so far away.
• Questions? Hit us up with a comment, we are right here.
