Income Vs Stunting
Hey guys i was just wondering a couple of things
1: How much do you make a year? (Gross) rounded to the nearest thou
And
2: How much do you spend on stunting a year? (average)
i was just thinking about this while i was working because all you guys are riding new bikes, bikes that would cost $10K NZD
do you guys make *** loads of cash or do you guys just live like bums is what im trying to really figure out,
ill kick it off
1. $26K NZD per year
2. $2.5K NZD on my bike (other than that i dunno yet)

Re: Income Vs Stunting
i make 0 now, i was a ferrari/lambo tech at a private shop, but i quit because my boss started being a coke head and blowing my pay on that. so i was taking home 45-55k, plus ebay and side jobs was up to say 85k gross. i had a bike i spent 2g's on 2 years ago, all stunted already. but i still spend money on dumbshit for it. db bars, damper, handbrake sprocket%chains, i have like 5tanks for it, 2 sets of plastics, so i spend 3g's on fixing it every year.

Re: Income Vs Stunting
ebay, craigslist, salvage/tow yards, cheap ways to get newer bikes under $5k very often. ebay, craigslist, local shops for cheap tires i.e: race take offs, large bike dealerships may let u get the tires for free, saves them on disposal fees. chain n sprockets $100-200 depending on where u go, if u don't over tighten they'll last a while. a good cage like tiger shark protects ur shat n dont break so u drop $200-350 on a great cage, not a good one a GREAT ONE! dont worry bout busting cases n covers or replacing the cage. oil pick up $85. high end hb kit $400 for f.t. rear master, steel braid line an radial front master n this will hold up longer then the bike. your biggest expense will be gas and tires u buy a few levers here n there, $300 on a high pro paint job n minor body work now n then otherwise get sand paper, rattle can n $5 a can clear coat n ur set.

Re: Income Vs Stunting
I haven't had a real job for like a month and a half. For like the first 2 weeks I was riding as much as possible and I thought it was great until my **** broke and I didn't have money to fix it.
