How to become a BMX Flatland Pro!

I often noticed that lot of riders think to be a Pro rider means to have an easy going life (dream on dreamer!). That´s for shure not true and especially not for BMX Flatland Pro´s. So what does it mean to be a Pro and how does it work?

So listen:

1. To be the best rider on the planet is an option but not possible for everyone!
2. To win contests is good but don´t think that bigger companies will come to you asking to sponsor you, you always have to promote yourself in a proper way to get good sponsors!
3. Learn to loose!
4. Learn to win!
5. Trying to get everyone to like you is a sign of mediocrity!
6. Really never give up!
7. Build a bussines beside being a Pro to have a good life after your riding carrier!
8. Never sleep ;) and be smart!

I really just see a few rider in Europe out there who i would call Pro´s, like Alex Jumelin., Mathias Dandois or Mike Steingräber. Good night and good luck!
