What's your thoughts....
I was recently talking to a fellow rider about KOS, he said he's gonna enter amatuer and pro freestyle... Just curious on everyone's thoughts...
Here's mine, If you believe you have skill, you should compete pro and see how you do, whether you've been to one or 100 comps... and i personnally don't think it's fair to the other am's that someone with skill enter amatuer and possibly knock them out of a possible placement...
it's not really that big a deal... just curious if i'm not seeing his side of things..... and whether it should be allowed....

If he doesnt get paid for any aspect of riding, he's an amateur.
If he has sponsors or has previously won money or prizes in comps, hes a pro.
Thats pretty much right out of the dictionary.

Re: What's your thoughts....
you either ride full time and do nothing else and your pro or you stunt whenever and as much as you can while working a normal job too and you are an amature...i think thats how it works, so even though i have sponsors and do demos and comps i am a journeyman plumber to support my family so therefore i am not a pro reguardless of my skills....i think...
