Alot of pros started playing 18 years ago so naturally they became pro from experience. If you look at the kids in the sport who are fairly young, like ollie, bc, alex, kenny, ryan, yosh, johnny, they just kept playing and never stopped, its what they do, they knew people, impressed some teams and got picked up by pro teams.

In terms of money, u gotta play everyweekend working up to it id say, and figure however much you spend on paint and
equipment and what not. I spend every last penny i have on this sport and my goal is to be pro by 20, wether it happens or not i dunno, but its a gaol.

Anyone can be pro at this sport if you think about it. Just hard work and determination will take you there if you want it bad enough
