"How you doing there? I'm Simon Bingham. This is No Comply Skate Shop and I'm going to tell you how much pro skateboarders earn. Well if pro skateboarding it really depends on what companies you skate for for how much money you earn because the company if they're not making a lot of money then your not making a lot of money. So there's only a select few big companies out there that are paying their riders five thousand and up salaries a month. Most average skateboarders are lucky to get around a thousand dollars a month. And that's definitely the majority. Like I said, the top guys that are skating for big companies, there is a hand full of guys that are making a million or two a year but that's a select few. And it's not really all from going to contest or anything like that. They do have salaries, they have many sponsors, they have managers and everything like that getting them jobs all the time. So it really depends. But if you really love skateboarding, all that stuff really doesn't matter. So don't worry about how much you earn."
