Money

Depends on the riders level and sponsor. I know kink only gives tony Hamlin 250 a month

Idk but i don't really care. But i think someone like arron ross would be able to do it for a living or whatever.

i think aaron ross is fully supported from just riding but then again he has alot of sponsors and his own signature complete

I don't know about the pros but personally Ive made about $20 and a couple free lunches at taco bell.

Well look at Scotty Cranmer, has very nice cars, had enough to make a skate park, decent house... I'm assuming he makes some good money.

pro riders are broke as fuck, thats why so many live in one house at a time.

stay in school

Constant contest prize money is how he does it. Xgames at every country they do, dew tour, and so on

Tom Dugan works at Peter Pan mini-golf, his house is pretty decent too

this is true haha I saw this video from like a year ago on youtube with aaron ross and even he lived with like five other people

Dudes like Garrett Reynolds and Chad Kerley i'd say make quite a bit from being on nike and having drink sponsors alone. As far as your average pro rider with a frame and parts sponsor though they probably don't make a whole lot.

Definitely not true. Kink takes good care of their dudes.

Pro riders can make anything from a few hundred dollars a month to 150k+ a year, depending on their sponsors / level of riding / contest results / etc.

same with terry adams

pro riders can also fuck themselves over quite easily even if they make tons of money by not doing their taxes properly as an independent contractor

Absolutely true. I ride with his brother jake and asked him. 250 + some percentage of his signature parts sales

tony hamlins interview in ride bmx a couple months ago was awesome

Sig parts bring them money just as pro football players memorabilia. Aaron Ross makes 6 figures due to that.

His brother jake is like a clone of him. Rides identical and just as funny

That's true, but guys like him and terry adams and garrett reynolds and daniel dhers (who also has a nice car, nice house and owns a skatepark) ride a lot of contests

His Parents own a huge Bike shop, and I think he runs it now, so that's the source of a lot of his money.

if you saw Nigel Sylvester's latest edit he literally shows like 3 handfuls of twentys but hes sponsored by Nike, Gatorade, G-Shock, Danscomp, Animal, and Beats by Dre

Well you all are forgetting that some riders have AGENTS!! I bet you Nigel Sylvester has a real real nice agent, look at his sponsors, GATORADE!!! You think the guy that picks sponsors for Gatorade woke up and said, "BMX, thats my hook!" nope, i betcha Nigel's agent called them and asked them, and i bet they called a few others before that. There are a lot of opportunities out there and i know from being in the acting for commercials and movies, its hard to book stuff without a group or agent propping you up!! They can really help out. Trust me.

He doesn't work there anymore. That props interview is a few years old now and that's before he got on fit and rockstar. If I remember correctly he gets $2500 a month from fit, well at least when he did his albion interview.

Not all pros are broke the amount of money they spent on there bikes to do a bike from scratch youre looking at like £1,000 for a decent bike, they dont make videos about the parts what get broken, My 9 tooth backwheel broke today and they aint cheap, including hubs...it depends on the person and career.
