Pro Riders?

I've seen kyle baldock pull a toothpick over 180 up a rail.... sooo yes i would say hes on the same level

I'd say pro means they can afford to pay the bills and make a living from riding, I could care less if Kyle baldock could do all the street shit that's why he gets payed the big bucks to throw bangers and win the big contests .......there's tons of pro street riders that still have to work a 9 to 5

In my mind, if you're a professional BMX rider, it simply means that you make a living from solely riding your bike. You provide for yourself, pay your rent, feed yourself, all with money earned by riding your BMX bike.

You'd be surprised at how many riders you might see as being "Pro" when in reality they're working a part-time job to get by.

Yes there are a lot of pros who do ride at the same level in every school of BMX, whether it be park, dirt, or street. But that DOES NOT mean that you have to be master-of-all to be a professional. You could be a professional flatland rider if that's how you make a living (winning contests and getting paid by your sponsors).

Some professionals might be better "all-around" riders, but that doesn't mean you have to be an "all-around" rider to be professional.

Alright alright, I guess I did not think about this enough, I see what you guys are saying.

Although I did know that "professional" bmx riders get paid, again I guess I did not think about this topic enough

What zach said.

Who the fuck cares waht you ride , how you do it , or how good you are. I like BMX because its fun. Would I like being sponsored? Yes. Am I good enough? No. But I'm having fun so that doesn't matter !
