What kind of money can a pro-skateboarder make?

Tony Alva (Pro Skateboarder) gives expert video advice on: How do I go from an amateur skateboarder to being a pro-skateboarder?; How many skateboarders turn pro every year?; What kind of money can a pro-skateboarder make? and more...

I would say it does vary quite a bit. But I would say maybe some guys, they are lucky if they make twenty grand a year. And then there's other guys that probably make like ten million dollars a year. Just depending on what kind of endorsements they have and how much travelling they do. Because if you travel all over the world and enter all these different contests and you are winning not only the purses from the contests and actually getting paid by your sponsors, but like a guy like Tony Hawk, I would say in a year... I really couldn't say. He could have been making much more than I can even guesstimate.
