SPONSERSHIP INFO

Our Skate Sponsorship Program

We are totally blown away by the amount of people from the community that want to be on the skate team, however for now until April-1-2024 the slots for sponsorship are closed. you are welcome to send us your demo reels we will look at each and everyone. November we will be contacting you about the possibities of joining the team. But stay active and keep skating no matter what!! -Chris

The very most important thing for us is that you are a good person, we care more about your personality and passion than how good you are at skateboarding. We don’t have time to hang out with devious untrustworthy ass clowns. So…if you have your moral compass in working order. You are a down to earth, chill, honest & trustworthy person. Who lives their life respectful of all types of humans and creatures of this great planet, then we are interested in talking to you. All other punks don’t bother we don’t want you on the team.

So you love skateboarding like us and you want to be on our team, well you came to the right place. Here you will find out everything you need to know about getting on the Skitch Skate Team.

You have to be active on Instagram, if you already post your skate progression on IG then you already meet half of the requirements to be on the team. We trade “material goods & Hardware” for your time and Social media content reach. Basically when you make a post about skateboarding you will tag us and promote the shop. in return you get hats hoodies t-shirts, skateboards and hardware to support your love for what you do. It is a win win, you won’t need to buy Hardware and we get some extra social media coverage. We look at it like instead of us paying Google, Instagram or Facebook for advertising we invest in the local community. If you are interested in being on the team and you think you fit into our shop style please write send us a message on Instagram and send us some short clips of you skateboarding. We will see what happens, maybe we will be working together 🙂 All applicants must provide a “Sponsor me tape” must be longer than 2 min. You must also have a Active Instagram account.

Levels

Shop Supported

This is our entry level and for people who aren’t in the local community or have just joined the team. The obligations vary but are usually light and you would represent us by submitting media (videos and photographs) for use on our social media advertising campaigns. A simple explanation of this involves the provision of discounted merchandise and shop gear in exchange for a commitment to use that merchandise or equipment at public skate parks or local competitions & in your social media accounts. (first step in sponsorship for everyone in and out of town skaters and for semi active on social media)

Shop Flowed

This is the second level here at the shop, that means you showed us you are invested in our shop and skateboarding and we would like to give you more goodies for all your support. This level involves a higher discount of shop merchandise and provision of hardware, equipment and Shop apparel along with the occasional payment of travel and accommodation or living expenses when representing us in an out of town competition or function.

This Level commonly exchange marketing rights to their image for shop flowed skateboarding equipment and other merchandising and or skateboard products that is no cost to the sponsored athlete.

Flowed by Shop & DC Skateboarding (DC Shoes)

This is the highest level here at the shop, that means you are down like 4 flat tires. You are as invested in the shop as we are in you. This level involves a higher discount of shop merchandise and provision of official “Flowed” apparel, hardware and merchandise from different brands and hardware, equipment and Shop apparel along payment of travel and accommodation or living expenses when we attend of town competition or functions.

The requirements of this level gets a little more serious, such as providing pictures & videos for social accounts, meeting up for skate sessions, making team skate videos and attending Shop functions. But in return you will receive a whole bunch of Brand name & Shop “Flowed” skateboarding equipment, merchandise, apparel and when I say a whole bunch, I mean it’s a pretty dope deal.

Legal

All three levels of The rider program have these things in common You are a team member and you skate for SKITCH. None of the levels allow you to say “you ride for” anyone but the shop (You can get sponsorships from other Brands, But we can be the only Skate Shop you ride for). Even if you are receiving products through us from big name brand companies (Flowed) you are not skating for those brands. Just for example you cannot say you are sponsored by DC Shoes because you are not, you are a rider for the shop. However if we have arranged for you to receive products from DC Shoes you are allowed to say “Flowed by @dcshoes” just for legal reasons you are 100% A team rider for SKITCH and no one else. If you have any questions just ask 🙂

Love peace & chicken grease
