Career in Freestyle

[sfreestyler]

When I saw the thread and saw you had the last post, I had a funny feeling you'd say something about Abdellah, whoever he is.  :dontknow:

I don't believe you can make a DECENT living off doing peformances. Maybe a living yes, but you're going to have to rely on a steady flow of high paying opportunities if you want to be able to afford things like a car, house, paying the bills etc.

For the kids on this forum who want to do it full time, focus on something more realisic.

Why isnt a career in freestyle realistic...?

[DanTheMan]

If you dont believe, you wont achieve

[KellerFS]

If you don't think realistically, your fucked.

[DanTheMan]

If you don't think realistically, your fucked.

who said so?
people who always think realisticly and never think outside the box are the boring 9 to 5 guys in offices all over the world
I'd rather be a pro freestyler struggling to pay the bills than to be a middle-class office worker or builder

think big is what i would say, if you aim high but you dont make it, at least you tried unlike the "realistic thinkers"

Yo Jay.T, you havent lived a career in Freestyler, so you cant comment.

Its tough going trying to pay bills from freestyle shows, but in my opinion far more rewarding than all the goons working in office jobs that they hate just because society pressures them into "being realistic".

Dont conform to society, take a fucking chance...thats my advice to anyone here who thinks they got a shot at being pro...no matter the sport.

I'd like to make the point that, if you want to have a family, wife, kids etc, would you still be willing to Freestyle and struggle to pay the bills because its "rewarding", or would you rather put your familys health and wellbeing first.

Ok now your getting carried away, that is silly.

But there are freestylers who have families and still make a living out of Freestyle.

Its okay when your young if your "struggling" with Freestyle as a career...but at a certain stage if its not working out, you have to make the decision of whether its worth it.

I agree. I'm just saying you need a backup plan if Freestyle doesn't workout, instead of putting everything into it and having nothing left at the end.  

When a young kid decides to leave school early to become a professional Freestyler, you know somethings wrong.

i cant believe that some of you think that freestylers such as dan magness or sean have no skill.... dan magness can do sits while doing a topheadstall... the only one besides dan is KHB who can do this.

but yeah i would like to see a battle between Tiernan and oLi. an unedited battle.
