Re: Who makes their living off of stunt riding?
the amount of money it takes to survive is variant depending upon the lifestyle one leads....
theres a lot of smoke in mirrors in this industry as with any...
things are rarely what they appear and the bottom line is that most "pros" have a supplimentary income of various dealings...
i personally, do not have a day job, and havent in over 2 years.. my income is derrived souly from what i make through sales, shows, and sponsors...
I am also very blessed to have a few very influential people in my life that have put a lot of time, money, effort, and work into affording me to continue to do what I do... wether it be family, girlfriend, and friends...
money is a direct reaction to work.. if you put work and effort in.. money will follow! for those who want to "ride for money" more power to you, do it! but please remember... dont lose sight of the fun... when something becomes a job some might find it's no longer fun, I enjoy the bussiness side just as much if not more than the riding... you might find yourself being a lot more unhappy with your choices then you would have been otherwise...
i love riding..

You guys also have to remember that is is also a young mans sport...if you do get to the point you are making money, make sure you are putting some away and always have other sources.
I on the other hand will never make any money in it, and until there is a health insurance plan, I can't afford to quit my day job! Besides, don't I have to at least get on my bike to have a chance at getting paid??!!

i made it fo ralmost 8 full months off of cages and 12bars,dvd sales,shows and a really good sponsor who i think of everytime i start the f4izzle or jig a cage off of it,thanks hanum flooring,jg electric,shameless plugging aside,
it can be done if you have your finger's in the right holes,but put the wrong ingreidients into your mix and it's back to doin side jobs and selling things
