you could probably get sponsored with those tricks, but thats effinatly not good enough to go pro. you might want to learn some spins and raley based tricks, to make urself more well rounded

I hope you love wakeboarding A LOT cuz if not your riding for all the wrong reasons but if not you can definately get sponsered if you round yourself out like wakerider said.

if you want to go pro these days better have atleast 5 mobes and a 7 off the wake, if not - you can pretty much chalk it up.

take a move that your already really good at maybe a frontflip then keep adding a spin to it, if you get to like slim chance 540 your gonna have a pretty good shot at, at least getting looked at for a big sponsership your gonna need a few big moves and your other smaller tricks are gonna have to become really smooth, no huckin it Cool

yes cause I would say all the pros are doin that one tyler .... u know I never really payed that much attention but in Running With Scissors both Harf and S Bonifay threw down w2w 9's ... I had seen it a million and never actually noticed ne thing other than a big spin not really payin attention till just this past weekend .... I slowed it down and had to watch it like 3 times to prove to myself that I had really seen that .... put one of those under your belt and your goin all the way kid

Yeah alot of spins are done w2w, doing it out 2 the flats just doesnt look as good IMO.

Be able to take your inverted and Raley tricks to blind, ala Indy Tantrum to Blind, Blind Judge

save up money and go to a camp where there is pros. they will help you progress fast and can tell you everything you need to do well. but remember to keep it fun.

with that list of tricks you will not make it pro but ur attitude seems to be right but you seriously have to want live this sport and represent it 24/7. If you got this drive you will go places.
