Yeah it pays well when you ride for all the big companies like red bull or monster or gatorade, and have an awesome bike sponsor and ride all the contests and place well.
So yeah it can pay well, but you have to be amazing at riding bikes to get there, it takes a few years of being a broke ass pro to be able to afford the good stuff and live a real pro athlete lifestyle.
keep riding do what you love if you like it youll be successful with it

if your good enough do it
many of the pros have other jobs or business besides riding, because from what i've read or heard, having sponsors is just not enough sometimes.... but if you think you can pull it off, go for it....

Sponsorship should not be your only goal. Ride because it is fun, and if you get sponsored, cool, if not, you still had fun. (Make a rough plan in case sponsorship doesn't happen) and get out and ride!
