Hmmm well i've been skating 10 years so i've got a few comments, some nice, some not.

1. You really need to work on your style because most of those tricks were landed very sketchilly.
2. 180's, manuals (where your toe was definitely touching btw), etc are not cool to anyone who knows anything about skateboarding.
3. If you want to get sponsored you need to be landing these tricks off of ramps and down minimum of 7 stairs.
4. I assume you filmed this whole thing in one day but you really need some variety. Flatland on a street for the whole vid is super boring.

On to the good things...
5. You did land a few good tricks, but again, you need to be able to land them down stair sets or off ledges etc. Flatground is boring.
6. Work on your rails skills + add more of this in there. You should be able to atleast kickflip boardslide.
7. mm idk, i'd have to see more.

You've got a good start but you've got a ways to go before you're sponsored. Mainly just work on the tricks you have now and learn how to land them more cleanly.

Let me know if you've got any questions.

yea i wouldnt even call your manuals a manual, your toe drags a good part of the way off and on

and like the one guy said, manuals arent something sponsors are really looking for anyway

also your landings are sketchy 75% of them time, but the tricks themselves are good

if you work on the landing, forget about manuals and translate those tricks to bigger things then you got a shot

get more variety in there too

all in all tho not too bad

You should cut 1:37 - 1:57 out of your video completely.

Also, spell sponsor correctly. And the font you use at the end of the video makes it impossible for anyone to read your myspace name.
