I'm thinking if you are scared of the throttle that might be a problem.

If you are talking about pro freestyle on a pwc, that kind of money doesn't exist in the purses. This is truly a sport of passion, only a select few make a decent living at it.

Those nummbers are in the negative column in jetsking

You will get a free hat t shirt a trophy for on the mantel.

I think I would stay in paint ball.

Really? You make it sound like a grenade just went off in your ski or something.

Yeah you cant do it for money, if thats the only reason I would just walk away. Im trying to be in pro freestyle and couldnt even ride in any of the comps this year cause im still dropping money into my ski
Pro Freestyle = -$

U got that right John !!!!!!!!!!!!:beerchug:

all im saying is this.. after what i heard about the way pro's are treated and all the money they have to shell out is crazy.. get in paintball right for $3500 and make some money while playing when you make pro. the way i see it pro= money.. if not why have pro why not advanced or what ever...

just saying that pro riders deserve more respect then they get.. is all im saying..:261::261:

wow not sure paintball should be called that.. with it being the 3rd most extream sport in the world... anyway this is a pwc forum i was just trying to make a point.. gil told me about what a pro had to go threw just to get to the nationals and it just rubbed me wrong....
