Waynio Posted July 8, 2005 Report Share Posted July 8, 2005 LMAO! i will explain it to you when i see you next then Jonno :) (Y) Waynio................. also the money thing is quite a personal question i deffinatly know it wouldnt be one that i would go upto a pro and go "ere mate how much do you get paid?" i think thats quite a rude question and extremly personal. not many if any would actually answer it. but they get enough as they probably enjoy doing it as a job aswell as a sport/hobby therefore it keeps them happy, it may not be £80k a year it may only be £1k a year who cares. they do it for the love of the sport and personally thats all that matters. if someone asked me to do a demo for example and said we dont know weather we could afford to pay you i would rather do it as a good will gesture to advertise the fact of trials (in this case this has happened quite alot and it has put pros in a difficult position) but demos i do are completly different to demos that ashton and hawzee do, i more talking about Gala's and fairs where you want to advertise the fact that there is an extreme sport such as trials and its good fun and it gets more and more kids involved. for the kids to see PRO riders such as akrigg hawzee and ashton etc its like seeing to some their idles. like when i get the opportunity to ride with them i take it with alot of pride that i have had the pleasure to ride with someone of that calibre and experience and i try to learn as much as possible from them. i remember the 1st time hawzee and ashton walked into aire valley!!!!i couldnt bring myself to even speak to them as i thought they would be too good to speak to me but it was all kool and we got talking and ever since that i pay them alot of respect and take everything they say in and listen to their advice.
