Truth is, the perfect profile is different for everyone - your profile should reflect your personality and showcase your talent, but remain somewhat professional (that is if you're looking for sponsorship).

Here's the quick 101 on how to create the best profile for you:

Formatting: It's really up to you how you how you want to format it, but keep it clean and well organized.  You can pick from 15 different designs or pick color schemes and add your own background image.  Just go to Profile > Choose Theme. Current: Make sure it's current. If you have old photos/vids make sure you label them so the brands can see your progression. Photos: You can share a specific gallery with each sponsorship application. But, make sure the photos you put on your profile homepage are what a brand would want representing them Videos: If a picture tells a thousand words, a video tells a real story. It might be a little more work but it will pay off if you can organize a compilation video of you doing your thing and get some face time so people can see your personality. Results: If you compete, there is no better way to show your skills than to post results.  Many sponsors look to results as one of their main indicators for skill and what level to sponsor an athlete at - make sure your results are up to date. Bio:  Tell people about yourself. Some brands might want "too cool for school", some might want "down to earth", it's hard to fake it so keep it real. Dedication to the sport usually means longevity as a sponsorable athlete. TIP: Go to your profile and click on 'Add Content' - you'll see several modules for creating a Bio info to your profile - The Personal, Self Interview, Favorites and Competition Q&A modules can all be used to show your personality through your profile. Unique: You may be competing against a bunch of other athletes for the same deal. What's gonna set you apart? Why should they choose you? Promote your Sponsors: If you compete and are looking for sponsors, show the world who supports you. Post updates about your sponsors products, riding sessions, and always be promoting who helps you out. ----- For examples of good profiles, check out some of the featured athletes.
