Re: how much do the pro's really make???
bottom line it aint anyones business what I, any full time rider, or just anyone else in general makes. thats kinda personal.
however. just to squash it ill say it like this.
2003-2006 i lived on peoples couches (EDUB TEAM OUTERMOST HOLLA!) ate taco hell everyday, drove a chevy (under repo) and a stuntbike (under repo) some 100,000 miles a year chasing a dream and basically living borderline homless everyday. being sponsored only by my lovely visa/mastercard hommies, and whatever parts i could hustle on ebay
my mom is a 15+ year ER RN making over 70k a year. Ive made much more than her for the last 2 years in a row. well into 6 digits.
however, when you take into consideration exactly how much I spend yearly just to do what it takes to make what i make.. id definately make a lot more being a bartender in this town of las vegas. fuel for instance costs me well over 13k a year for the last 4 years. and fuel is just the tip of the iceberg as to what it costs to do what i do, the way i do it. Ive already spent over 2k between just handbrakes and clips ons this year... and it not even february yet, and thats with the "hommie hookup of the man bill @ fullthrottle and tim and FI"
i live in a small 2 bedroom 1300 sq ft house, 1 car garage, in las vegas that i luckily bought off my moms a few years back for a really decent price so my mortgauge isnt out of control, but im gone over 200 days a year and yet my mortgauge is always due the same day. 180 a month for health insurance. 200 a month for a place to store my bikes, 300 a month on cell phone, i havent even started in on the ~30k a year i spend on show insurance... u think my boys the buddah paints just throw down some 6 paint jobs a year for free!? pppllllzzzzzz im sure they'd love to but they aint rich either. the list keeps going but id rather not think about my bills (easy 2500 dollar trip to stuntwars every year....)
where i feel stunting has made me rich isnt in the pocket book its in the life experience that i will forever cherish, and more so the bussiness skills ive been able to hone that i will use in the future wherever my career choices take me.
anyone can do this full time and do well at it if they want.
IT TAKES WORK, HUSTLE, TIME, and heart....
id bet 95% of the people who whine about wishing their were pro, if they knew what it actually took... wouldnt want to do it.
i do what i do, not cause its easy and the benefits are so great.. i do this cause i love this. since the day i bought i bike ive been hooked and my passion for being a squid will never change.. its what id do even if i wasnt "pro"
speaking of pro.. it rained all night last night and im out to catch the last of the daylight to go play in the mud get my kx P.R.O. on... thats my... Proper Ride On!

Danm that's some crazy stuff ! That's so cool that he did that write up! I personally know many people who went from almost homeless to stars just because they believed in themselves and loved their sport... I am a track and field person and know what it takes to become a pro! I am all new to bikes but I love it... now I found another hobby and have to work hard on both 
Thank's Kane

Re: how much do the pro's really make???
I dont really care if i make any money this year as long as i can afford to ride do what i love and go compete. at xdl i slept in my truck for 3 days. it stank when i got home but it was well worth it. this season i plan on going to each event even if i have to put stock gearing on my bike and ride it across the country and sleep in the ditch with a newspaper blanket. whatever i have to do im gona do it becuase all i think about every second of every day is stuntriding. its definatly the love of the sport that keeps me here. although getting money would be great and all being happy is more important to me. and happy to me is riding with the greatest riders in the world..... but if anyone wants to sponsor me lots of money il take it!

I know everyone thinks JB pulls in big dough from stunting, which he does a lot of stunt shows and i am sure he is paid well, but he is also the host of a tv show, exec editor of a magazine, not to mention he owns his own bike shop.

just a little food for thought, if he makes "that much" money why would he buy an avalanche and put escalade guts/parts in/on it, when you could just buy an escalade.
also yes the clothes are expensive, but thats retail price, they only cost pennies on the dollar to make in china/korea/india/etc.
