I'm just really confused at the goal of all of this... like alright, people send him money so he can stay in California to skate/eat/gas. Fine, yes California is a good place to get that done, but could be done anywhere.
Does he have a real camera or a filmer to capture said tricks he will potentially get?
Is it going to be a sponsor-me tape? or a full part?
And my main question... what the fuck happens after the part drops? Everybody already knows who he is, so it's not like it's going to be some surprise and miraculously turn him pro... if people already aren't hooking you up, it's probably not because you haven't dropped 'that part'. I think the problem with people trying to make it like this is that there is no point at which you 'made it' or can just chill. If he dropped the craziest part right now and got hooked up by a good company he would just be expected to top it next part because he hasn't really paid his dues.
Just get a job that gives you a 401k and skate for fun.
