Re: stunting as career Wish everyone else had a mind like yours.seems like everyone these days are trying to prove **** to everybody. just wanna ride and have fun and make videos when I get around to it
Do it for youself CBR..
**** camera's and trying to prove ****.. You only need to prove it to one person and that's yourself !
As for the career thing.. Alot of guys go back over end trying to make doing what they love a career.. Its a money pit and its obvious they arent doing it for a living..
There doing it for themself.. and a couple bucks for gas for the long drives they have to do.. They got crazy love for the sport because I would never communte more then 200 miles to ride !!!
Well unless i was trailoring my track bike to laguna seca.. Thats a worthy commute !

Re: stunting as career
this thread is ridiculous..
Nick acting like he knows what hes talking about, and teach thinking brittons making millions.. hahaha.. come on now!
--
yall want advice on how to turn your hobby into a career?
first off.. dont worry about what others do worry about yourself.
-
Ive been riding professionally as in MY ONLY income for over 4 years. I am VERY happy with my career, my finaces, my life. I am 26 years old and doing better than a lot of people i know that are signifigantly older.
money doesnt come easy, or quick in this sport, and bottom line you have to be willing to make sacrifices and DO WORK. a lot of the riders on this site are familiar with traveling, and I appreciate that. not trying to say i am any better in any way but i will say that ive been home for 5 days over the past 3 months, put over 60,000 miles on a brand new truck in one year, and spent so much time flying and shipping bikes that i can pretty much navigate any airport in the country with my eyes closed, walk into almost any dealership in the country and know people, and know my UPS driver better than half my collueages..
I did 50 shows last year.
I own 4 stunt bikes and only one is actually in my garage the rest are in trucks and crates being shipped ... to who knows where..
in just the last 6 weeks ive performed or attended events in (and in order) : Lincoln NE, Idaho Falls ID, Elko Nevada, Sacramento CA, Helena MO, NYC, Laguna Seca CA, Boston MA. ( dont forget the days of business meetings, conference calls, event planning, schedule updating, riding practice, and mechanic work squeeze in and around all of that)
was in boston yesterday, leave for LA tomorrow, and have a show in Chicago next week..
no again i gotta stress im not sitting here trying to brag, I am sitting here trying to answer the question of is it worth it to be a "pro"
I LOVE my job. I LOVE traveling, I love the road, I love the people I enjoy the lifestyle.. after 4-5 years of different city every week there are times it wears on ya, swapping motors in random dealerships in towns you never knew exsisted only to do it again a few days later.. not so much fun after the 5th time, but its part of it. real simply formula if you wanna succeed, just DO WORK!
there is no handbook on what to do, and how to do it. you gotta figure that out on your own, and we all think we have the best and right idea.. there is no right or best idea, there are just people trying to hustle.
there has never been a day where i have regretted chasing the dream that is my reality, there have been many hard moments but never regrets. whatever your instentive to do it, kudos cherish it and keep at it if you want. if you stop having fun... then do yourself a favor and just stop.
again i stress, dont worry about what others do, and dont listen to anyone but yourself...
the work to income ratio of this job is definately lopsidded on the work end, but to me its never been about just money. The rewards of this job are beyond anything i could ever have gotten elsewhere
**Nick I dunno whats your pissing problem is lately man, but ive been pretty outta my way nice to you this year and the fake reciprocity ive gotten in return, coupled with the last few SL references to me youve spouted off... ya whatever.. keep it up**
