i know its about being a representative of a product and what you can do for the company that sponsors you
i also know that no stand up kid that can only do shuvs is going to be sponsored
i guess i was just asking where he matches up

Hey Tim,

Generally speaking Kickys, w2w back 180's and w2w shuvs are tricks you would see pros do in a competition.
