What's Your Job?
I am curious to know what everyone does for a living. Alot of people have been saying that they ride for a living or someone else rides for a living, but is it really the case?
At the moment, I have only started stunting and wouldn't get paid to do a show, but I am handy with my camera and editing skills, so am working on getting some footage of some riders here in Australia and all over the world to make some films... Since I started riding, the lifestyle change has been heaps better than when I was djing and clubbing every weekend (drugs are fun - but they mess you up after a while).
Only a bit of weed for me now, but my main drug is the buzz I get from riding! I ****EN LOVE IT!
But besides from getting side tracked a little, I currently work for a Finance Broker thats similar to Moneymart in the US and Canada (it's actually owned by the same blokes brother). It's a typical office job that bores me to tears, but it pays the bills and lets me ride!
What do you have to do to pay the bills and keep your bike running?? It would be interested to know how many guys on here get paid to ride and dont have to work nine to five.

Work at fleetwood... building motorhomes. And am in the army reserves. Nothing close to glorious, or fun. But it pays the bills. I ain't no stunter either. But... maybe.... someday. I might be able to do a wheelie!!

I work at a bike shop. It's alright, get parts cheap which helps when you stunt, it pays the bills and is a fun place to work. Long hours and 6 days a week cut into the ridin time, but hey, no job's perfect and I'm happy
