How much do professional motocrossers make a year?

Question

I'm sure it varies but someone I know does it and he says he makes 70,000 a year is that possible?

Answer 1

honestly, probably not much after hospital bills. i spent some time there with something as small as skateboarding

Answer 2

MX / MotoGP riders are just like basket ball players.

They get most of there wage from sponsors rather then there " job"

Example: John Hopkins ( MotoGP ) his helmet was in Red Bull cols. Est $100K a year.

Monster ( Energy Drink ) offered double that, now John's helmet is black with 3 jaggered lines on it !

Answer 3

Pastrana made over $8 million last year(most of his was indorsments).

Carmichael cleared $7.5 million last year.

Stewart cleared $4.3 million last year

That kind of gives you an ideal of the top ten pro MX racers.
