I wish everyone involved the best of luck, as up to this point the best in stuntriding are putting alot of time, money, and hard work in without always getting the most tangible rewards in return.

There ya go everybody... A list of some events to go to and hopefully do well at so u will get the exposure u might deserve. Yes its hard, and no noone is rich off this yet. It all boils down to dedication people. If u drive and push hard enough, it will pay off in the long run. No matter what it is in life.

I know for a fact that Thomas himself only got this gig cause of his reputation as the best, and hes trying to make it work for everyone. If you were the same then your name would be up on that list.
As far as rich and famous, thats a joke, no one is famous, maybe in our own little minds. And rich, now thats funny, outta the list of people competing:
one gave up everything he knew at his home of many years, up and moved to socal on a dream and is making it work, lived offa credit cards and what he could, not rich
one still goes to college and im pretty sure doesnt live the rich lifestyle youre talking about
One is a west coast hood star haha, street king, living where he rides
one works his *** off at his local job just to be able to go riding at night, and have the few things he has that does the job.
etc etc
so just realize that the list is only there cause they deserve it, once these parking lot pimps that you mention deserve it then they will be noticed!

Re: xdl comp. is BS in my book whats your thoughts
IMO....It's kinda like poker. A few years ago there were only the comps on T.V. with big name pokers starts, i.e. Johnny Chan, Johnny Nguyen, Brunson etc. etc. and nows its blown up to where everyone is on T.V. doing it. This comp could be the start of it. They need to put the "big name" riders out there because they are the most known. This will draw people to the sport and then u can have the "no name" riders compete because the sport has a fan base now, not just the individual riders.

Anybody who does good at a comp can kill the streets. Doing stunts on the street is easy compared to putting a run together for a comp. I could not ride the streets for 5 years, not even ride a bike for 5 years and still get out there and kill the streets.
