thats what its all about, the brotherhood!!

 

true that dude

You dont make friends through stunting, you make family

(my first attept at a proverb, dont hate )

 

she was young and she needed the money.

dont forget about the slice of bread and dinty moore stew, you cant make a spread without the dinty moore, well i guess you could if youre a vegetarian.

im glad to hear none of you go overboard though, like the old guys with their smoked oysters and what not, not crackin.


i think this is one of the rare sports/hobbies where you can meet a guy from a forum, come to his city and crash at his pad without having ever met him.

no homo.

 

I feel that. I was just INTERESTED in your sport and people were leaving the key under the mat in case I got there before they got off work, Showing up to the airport to pick me up, showing me around their town, clowning me relentlessly, etc.

this sport rules and I still believe that the mainstream audiences will love you guys. they just have to see you for who you are, on top of seeing what you do.

 

Kane's smart.

you guys waste a lot of time looking for *****. if you just line it up ahead of time, you can spend more time working on other things.

 

Heres A Pic Of Kanes Backyard What Do U Think He Makes???

 

I can't see him screwing anyone over, either. He went out of his way to be generous every time I have ever seen him. I don't usually ride Kane's nuts, but some of the hate that gets thrown his way is undeserved.

not when I'm hating on him, but other people you know. they go too far.

 

Heres The Front B4 It Was Even Done

 

+10000

 

aight im with shake. I still see no realistic numbers. just alot of vaginas in this thread :twocents

 

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!

now wheres my ferrari!?

 

i thought his comment was funny and non offensive

your the one that has to try to be the "cool guy"

by the way whats your name... oh wait no one knows... hahaha
you ****** nerd get a goddamn life

 

i would like no now take back my comment about kane and say im a d bag
and should not have got sucked into the world of kane haters cause from everything kane has said after i actually did a lil kaneone research he is a pretty cool ninja

 

even the people i argue with on here and i think are complete douchebags (ysrrider, nastynate, etc), i would still hang out with them, provided they arent the d-bag in real life that they are on the net.

kelm is a perfect example of what im talking about. i havent met him in person, but he is a total doucher on here, but from what i have read from those that have met him, it sounds as if he is a pretty cool kid.

this is for kane and every other person who rides for a living:

if you collect a large cash purse from a comp, is it taxed? ive been meaning to ask that for a while, but i always forget.

 

ive never made a lot of money from a comp

i know i have to pay taxes on all sponsorship dollars, and show fees.
luckily i get a lot of write off, like 30 cents a mile or something im not sure off hand.

i got raped last year on taxes, and probably will again this year.

in this country you can't even counterfeit money without uncle sam taxin ya...

 

no ****, what was i thinking? asking you that question, i guess i was giving you the benefit of the doubt.

 

No one is doubtin the amount of dedication it takes. And thank you for being the one to ball up and actually post up an idea.

Your right its not about the money its about the lifestyle and experience. And I was talkin to someone the other day about this..100k salary and 100k running ur own **** is two diff amounts of money. +1 on being fucked by taxes!

 

**** taxes! I filed mine this year right in the shredder. By the way Kane, I watched you ride and spoke with you a little bit down in Houston a couple of months ago. You aren't as bad as you seem to be made out. Mad props for doing what you love and getting paid for it.
