learn some inverts and get your style down.
Don't worry about being sponsored, it's not everything. Too many people, especially younger guys want to get sponsored as soon as possible. That's not what it's all about. Ride because you enjoy it, get to a point where you have a good chance in the local contests and get your face around.
Companies want someone who will represent their brand and show it off as much as possible. If your confident enough in your abilities and your riding all the time in comp's and stuff, they will come to you.
have fun dude.

If your were female and in the UK that'll be enough to get sponsored, hell that'll be enough to get you a podium place at most comps but stateside not a chance.

Your going to have to work very hard to get sponsored. Best way for you at 14 would be to try and get some weekend work at a board shop, lake or something industry related and use that to get you an opening.
