This morning, I checked out Matt Zicopula's footy for this month's Sponsor Me Video Review, and what a great bunch of film it is! Matt's got some nice tricks stacked up in this sucker, including stellar hardflips and frontside flips, as well as a nice ender: a switch frontside flip down a grass gap.
Matt, the one thing I noticed after watching your footy is that you didn't have much in the way of rail and ledge shredding. While it's not essential, I think it will help diversify the segments that you've put together. Potential sponsors always like to see that you can skate a wide array of terrain, and tearing up the local rail and ledge is a definite plus. You may even want to drop some tranny in here and there to really light some fires.
I liked your run with the switch backside 180, 360 flip, nollie flip down the gap, and would have liked to have seen more connected lines incorporating your hammer arsenal. Don't forget, consistency and good lines are always where it's at...not to mention they are fun to watch and usually tend to be memorable. That being said, you may want to consider linking up some tricks in your next vid.
All in all, your footy is solid, and with some rail jammers and consistent lines, you could command some attention from the couch. Keep it comin' and enjoy your brand spankin' new Emerica kicks! Stay Gold.--Timothy Nickloff, Emerica Sales Manager

that was ok
1st
uhhhh it put my message twice
the video was ok
bleh
Well, at least this sponsor me contest thing is still going.
the switch frontside flip was sick, the lines weren't original enough though.
The kid has a sick style, plus he got free shoes.
i thought that kickflip noseslide was really smooth
That was pretty Good...
well at least he got some new kicks.
it got boring after a while. it's mostly stairs and gaps. the runs he had were pretty tight though
have they ever sponsored enyone?
he had some tricks where you couldent see them, hes got skills but a lack of variety like timothry nickloff mentioned
eeehhh....it wasn't that bad.
that video was preaty dope but the kid needs to skate some rails
that was pretty sweet
this kid is alright but omg if he can get a free pair of shoes i could get like 5 this kid lives in new york if u live in new york i expect u to be mad good i live in NJ and the spots here suck and when i go to new york i ripp it backside 180 9 gap it first try. u just have to get lucky
nice video but werd u gotta have some hubbs and some rails in that joint
That's where I'm from, Long Island Represent!!
chea lil matt, long island represent!!!!!!
no rails... cmon bro. and he was skating kinda slow on some stuff... i dunno. i guess it was ok. there has been way better.
talk about a reynolds rip off
one word sketchy
i would say he is very good and has a nice solid style.
...that switch frontside flip, nasty..
good job, matt
That wasnt amazing but he has a bunch of nice flip tricks
I wish i could got to long island NJ has nothing 2 skate.
Man, let me tell you something. This kid is fucking RIPPAGE! His tricks were solid like cheese biscuits. The only thing I would of liked to see was more speed. Speed makes any trick look, at least, fifty times better. Oh yeah, he also has a stupid last name that I can't pronounce. But besides all that he is great.
This kid sucks, I need a new pair of shoes, maybe I should send in a sponsor me video

skate more rails!skate more rails! enough of that shit, sorry some of us know how to skate manuels.
yo this is a sick video and i live on long island too, where on LI r u at?
hey josiah did you get to choose the shoes you won?
im jewish
guille: yeah, i picked the bryan hermans, unfortunately... i should have got the Kirchart 4's.
Hey Matt, dude all you have to do is go faster. GO FAST! if you apply that to the sick variations you have down stuff, that would be sick. but go faster in your lines.
And work on those tre flips, they look sorta wierd.
that video was really short he has some clean hard flips but i agree with josiah his tre flips aren't very nice!!
this is the second person from new york to win they must be pretty good up the there.
had some real good runs in there nice switch fs flip at the end but wheres the rails man
that was good but you need more ledge and rails but still nice vid. the reason it sucks though is you're probably not old enough to drive to or get to good spots like me and some others. nice video
Do nollie bs flips, they would fit your style.
He needs 2 do a fucking handrail!!
Shut the fuck up bitches. Stop complaning about how he didnt do any rails. If you think its important to do rails then send in your own fuckin video with you doin some rails. Stop bitching....
it was pretty good
who cares if he dont skate rails , hes still madd good and has the sickest style
Kids like that give me hope! I better start cutting my footy and send that bitch in!
And you dumbasses out there stop repeating what the manager said.
that was prety sick but could of been better
that was prety sick but could of been better
The kid is realy sick but he have no rails and ledge in is video...
Sick!!!!
dudes dont hate i have seen this kid around he rips also it dosnt matter if her dosnt skate hand rails also he won the es game of skate for new york last summer
he didn't do anything too amazing but his style is pretty badass.
sometimes when you're lacking key elements to a good part you make up for it. he just needs to skate faster aand explore bigger things. other than that his part was almost decent.
his tre's looked realy low and he was slow. he needed way more footage to.
his style reminds me of bryan herman only with out the grinding of any sorts of objects you use to put your hands on when you walk down stairs, like a handrail or hubba.
the tricks are ok.
yes good job Matt represent strong island
how do you send a whipser? lol
I have no clue how to whisper and the site is acting gay for me right now so..

lil matt won the es game of skate in the city last year, so u kno he ripps!!
o whoops i didnt read that the one due posted this info already my bad, but its tru, im reinforcin that stuff
good vid. but its wicked short it's like a minute long. whatever. i guess i'll just make mine 2 minutes. anyway if u add more stuff like rails or a halfpipe or some park footy then you'll have a good chance of gettin sponsored. whoa this is a long comment.
Good Stuff
find ur own style....it was pretty good though.....no rails
u should hav put rails in there
try danvers skate park (if u live in MA) it has a moderatly easy learning handrail i can do it nd im only 12 u look lik ur 16 or 17
i hav a nice pair of the tilts but after all this rain in MA, i had 2 let them dry so im using sum slippers. still gettin those handstands though
dat was some sweet footy matt nicely done...lots and lots of flip trix yo
nice grass gap.
not that good thought, i should get thouse shoes, but i broke my camera.
no bigspins??? no 360s? wtf
no rails and its mad short
This kid is pretty good but he does have nice tricks.Except the kickflip many and nollie popshuv many suck and he should have defintly skated some rails or hubbas
faster,
higher tre flips,
and rails tricks.
his part would have been better with these elements.
O WOW
you're all a bunch of haters. He's got mad diversity in his shit. Matt's my boy, and he can do anything he wants, sorry if he's not a handrail jock like you all want him to be ,get over it. start submitting your shit and see if they post it. he's a fuckin ripper and you'll be hearing lots about him real soon. Fuck the haters. Long Island Represent
How can a kid get on the emerica website and you say he is "ok"? In order to get big you have to have coverage. And judging from matt winning game of skate and being on here just tells you he will be big one day.
is that all u can do if it is u suck cock
LONG ISLAND IS GAY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
HE CANT FILM ANY LONGER BECAUSE HE SUCKS COCK
you had some great skating but you need some more lines and you could go a little faster.all though that switch frontside flip was sick
U have fantastic syle, and are insanely clean. Your one of the few that need to be sponsored.
Nice vid man, great front flips, hard flips
Dude if u live in MA check out MSC skatepark in shrewsbury. it's huge. just search MSC skatepark on google images.

almost everyone on here is all talk, but got nothing else. Its pretty gay when skaters go hating on other skaters...very gay. There's no what skating was...now its just what skating "is".
Good video anyways...everythings smooth...some tough tricks down some sweet gaps too. I think that 360 flip was personally pretty sweet also, concidering i've never seen one look like that...so it gives you style points for looking different then everyone else's 360 flip..
Soy todos unos gilipollas y unos putos payasos, que coño os creeis, criticando a todos lo que salen en los videos estos, como si vosotros fuerais los mejores patinadores del mundo. Putos gilipollas, que os jodan a todos. Maricones.
Si os creeis tan buenos mandar un puto video. Es que me dais pena, putos yankies de mierda.
The video wont load on my computer but it sounds like it was awesome.......... hey eddie boy Long Island does not suck!
i dunno...i'm seriosly,like,just as good as him,but,still that switch frontside flipperoonydoony was sick.
Needs music...
putos creidos!
was there a single rail trick in the whole part. Your good at what you do but emerica pros kill everything and anything. so step it up
xgames198 you are a fag, die immediately, who talks about themselves like that?
damn, that was clean fo real tho. What i liked the most tho was that semi-flip or hardflip, i think it was a semi flip because it didn't go up it went like a backwards varial. I really like that switch bs 180, it was all late thats why i liked it.
I dont think you guys really know what you need more speed on. When you do your lines you need tons of speed, not so much when you go off of stairs. When you got fast lines it shows you can control your board and that you are consistent.
Really the only thing i can say to this guy is grind, thats all you need, you got lines, you got stairs and drops, only thing really is grinds. all in all, this is a tight ass video.
wow people why are u all hatin and tellin this kid what he needs? i bet none of u could sk8 half as good as him so shut your mouths!
if a kid's good enough to get on here than leave him alone.
dude sick vid!
does anybody know where i can get a look at the boss
good skatin i liked it so did everyone who wasnt hatin but they were right you need to do more hand rails great job skating the stairs.
He skate pretty good he needs to hit some rails.
vato es on puto pendeo vato cieyate la voca
look more like an e's skater
I thought it was sick.
You're frontside flips are nice.
oh and dont hit rails.
they suck.
the hardflips and frontside flips were excellent
the fact that there were no rails made me sad cause I'm sure he could do some
this kid rips! oh and by the way anyone who left a bad comment Emerica can't make mistakes so if they say this kid is good, he's good!
this kid rips! oh and by the way anyone who left a bad comment Emerica can't make mistakes so if they say this kid is good, he's good!

blocky style, doesnt look good but he had big tricks
I think the kid is alright. He is only 16. he just needs some rails!

eeeeehhhhh.....
for some reason i like the tre flip its kinda fancy, i noticed there were unkinked rails next to the gaps in this vid, man i would kill for those spots dude you should've kickflip noseslid one of those then you would've been flow for sure dude
he skates the best spots, here in melbourne Australia i would dream to go to those spots
ps where is the spot where he does that run with the nollie flip
add Big_Micky89@hotmail.com
ahh ok put him flow
he can't even do a handrall hes ok never mind he can only do flips he sucks
I think you should have gotten a little more footage, all in all you put some shit down that was pretty gnarly.
yo, u need 2 sk8 more rails nd hubbaz dude. having said that i wish i was as good as you.
p.s. u should try some bigger stairs with some of those tre's u got
shoulda sponsored him emerica, b/c he ended up on zoo york flow and sole tech flow. doesnt even need the free pair of shoes.
