Being a 12th place rider or never raced and have your health and a good job?

Depends.

Health and good job, no contest.

Both.

neither...

That's a trick question. The average non pro American isn't very healthy.

the question dosent make any sense....

Both... Anything other than racing is just passing time till you die.

Define what you mean about having your health? What are your parameters?

Tons of 12th place SX/MX pros who still ride and race.

why not both?

What's the point in dying with a well maintained body? I'd rather go out tired and worn out.

Better to have loved and lost than never to have loved at all.

Sounds like the best reply so far.

Best answer! I feel like the options feed off each other. They are a lot of retired professionals who were 10-15th place guys, left the sport healthy and now have good jobs.

12th.

I'll try to get 11th or better next weekend,

I don't have a sense of smell, 19 broken bones, 45 minutes of yoga every morning so I can walk, do I reget it ?

everything has a price...

thats like asking what a championship is worth ??

Yep.

I feel strongly both ways...

12th looking to improve

But an invalid reply,the question was one or the other,I'd go with 12th and hope I wasn't too banged up and had a job that paid the bills at the end of it

Health and good job bro.


Atleast until they pay that 12th place rider what he's worth. 6 figures. Every guy making a main should be putting six figures in the bank after taxes and equipment in one year.


Newest edition of transworld: "what do you think of the purse money" Riders answer: "It's a joke" and "they could pay more" yet they still race for nothing... they're stupid. Every pro should unite like a certain college football team did.....stop racing for nothing in front of crowds idiots! STOP! And get a good paying job with benefits.
