How to get on the team

I think I am asked this question more than anything else, but there is no easy answer, so I guess I will just put it in writing:

Now, everybody seems to think we only want the best of the best. That is not it at all. There are a whole bunch of things we consider, and it is up to you to make sure you have each of the qualifications. And - believe me - if you are doing all of this, we will notice. That being said, here is the list of things that I look for when we are trying to pick out new kids to put on the team:

• You need to be a regular: We want people to not only know but also recognize all of our team members. Even if you consider yourself a street skater, you still have plenty of time to be here, so this does not disqualify anyone.
• You have to have a good attitude ALL the time: If you are going to be representing us, we need to know that we will not see you yelling, cussing, throwing your board/helmet, not being cool with other kids...the list goes on.
• You should lend your help to the little kids: A quality we will be quick to notice is you being a help to the up-and-comers. They are always looking for help, and if they can find it in a team member, their parents will notice it, too. We like that because the parents will then start to feel comfortable leaving their child here. They will not do this if they walk in here and see someone freaking out.
• You skate LOTS of contests: This is a biggy. If you are here getting to skate as much as you want for free, then we would like to see you showcasing your talents as often as possible. That lets everybody know just how good our team is. In addition, we want you wearing a Progressive shirt at these events to make sure everybody knows who you skate for. So, start doing this now. Even if you are not on the team right now, feel free to wear a Progressive shirt and take a picture of yourself on the podium if you place. Send it to us so we know how you are doing at contests. Also, in doing this, we can reward you by putting your picture on the website News page.

This is  by no means everything we look for, but is definitely a good start. Do this, and we will surely begin to notice. We are always looking for that next person - maybe it will be you.
