I thought this was an interesting article ESPN put out regarding the always controversial topic of being a paid action sports athlete and how hard it actually is to be one.

Pretty interesting article good read. Ranville only made $60k a year at the peak of his career? Thought those guys would be making more but I guess its only the very few who can sustain big payouts. Guess you can see why the comp circuit is so attractive to those who ride it hard.
