Get known in the industry. Enter contests. Skate with photographers who are getting published in skate magazines. It's the best way to get coverage. Team Managers are looking for riders who are getting coverage, not just riders who can skate. TM's want to see how you act with people in the industry, and they want to see how they react to you. |
