True true. I find the majority of younger guys who are doing significantly better than others are being funded by their parents and this other dude who's trying to go pro just sells gear straight outta Popeyes lol. So messed.
Edit: Know this dude in Ottawa who's probably one of the biggest cell tech dealers and he's driving around in a 2012 porsche panamera and has never worked more than a full time job at popeyes.

hope he is careful. The biggest way poeple get caught in the US is two things...
1. they get into recreational drugs dealing. PED's are alright...but it ain't shiat compared to selling X or coke...it's peanut money...chump change. When guys turn to the x and coke dealing they often get caught. they go from pulling in 3K a month to 30K a month.
2. Taxes...when you claim no revenue and buy a 300K house and have two corvettes...uh...yeah...uncle sam's coming to figure that out...

I agree with this. Why is it so important to turn pro that you risk doing serious damage? I bet most of the top pros didnt need to go through so much sh*t to turn pro, because of their genetics. This is just me but if i still wasnt pro or wasnt good enough to compete well with other pros after years of training and taking so much id give it up.
If this lads usage is what people say it is and this is as good as he looks its already too much too young and for not enough return.

Oh totally. I'm sure he's funding his money through his dads business or something like that. Which is fuarked that his dad is aware of what he's doing. He doesn't deal rec drugs though, and I know how much you make from selling gear, so he must be pushing a crazy amount to be able to buy a brand new 100k car with barely a minimum wage job. Mind you every one of my friends gets their **** either through him or one of his cronies, heh.

I tend to agree with you there. We all know that this sport isn't cheap, but the expenses aren't nearly as high as some people are claiming. If you are spending £40 000 ($61,328) on your prep, you are buying some absolutely outlandish stuff that probably isn't helping much anyway.
My guess is that a lot of these guys have no jobs, or don't have steady jobs.What is Perseverance?
-Perseverance is commitment, hard work, patience, endurance.
-Perseverance is being able to bear difficulties calmly and without complaint.
-PERSEVERANCE IS TRYING AGAIN AND AGAIN!!!

To elaborate on what Flex500, has shared with us, here's an even more revealing thread on the subject of G4P. It's not for the faint of heart.
