Ok, so you've had the patience for Lesson #1 and Lesson #2, but Lesson #3 will be longer than War and Peace with twice as many characters involved.

Lesson #3 = It's all about who you know.

If you think you can just send in a video to Girl and they'll put you on the team, you're setting yourself up for some disappointment. Now if you're really, really good, and you're not an idiot but in fact a real cool guy, and you hang out with the Girl team all the time, and those guys are like your best friends and invite you to their wedding receptions, then maybe, maybe, MAYBE!, you've got a shot at being sponsored. Maybe. But probably not. They'll probably put you on Skate Mental and tell you it's like wanting to be on Zero but being put on Mystery instead, and when you ask "Wouldn't Chocolate be to Girl like Mystery is to Zero?" then they'll pat you on the back and say "Just hang out with Brad for a while, you'll see."

But seriously, you've got to have connections. And getting Steve Berra to accept you as a friend on Facebook doesn't count.
