First of all, how good are you...really? There aren't many inline companies out there and our sport is small compared to skateboarding and bmx. If you're the best in your town, or among the best, a great place to start is with your local skate shop. Make sure they know who you are and get to see you skate. You may also want to make a demo video showing your best tricks. Don't worry about the quality, editing or music, the skating should speak for itself.
If you're looking to get sponsored by a major company, you'll have a lot of work ahead of you. Start going to competitions, win those competitions, move up, meet people and sell yourself. It's all about networking and the more people you know, the more people you'll have supporting you. There are tons and tons of incredible rollerbladers out there who no one's ever even heard of. Get good and get yourself known. The rest will come.
Although...let me tell you that there is not much money in being sponsored in this sport. Even if you don't get sponsored, I hope that you rollerblade because you love it and you'll continue to be a part of the sport no matter what.
