Here's a few questions for all the Fans and self proclaimed "Industry Supporters" out there....

Set aside your Normal Life would you go on the road doing whatever Rides, Games, Food ect...?
What if you got Laid Off and need to support your Family?

What would you do if your out in the middle of nowhere with no wheels or noplace to got something to eat and your hungry?
Would you do it for the Money alot of guys are paid? $250-$500 a week?
Now when I say "A Week" I'm not talking about your 40 hour punch a timeclock work week....I'm talking about 60-80+ hour work weeks that have some 15+ hour days in there in all kinds of weather....
Think about this: You got Johnny Ridejock that is 2nd man on the Bounce and he makes $250 a Week. On a 40 hour week that's 6.25 a hour, 50 hours = $5 60 hrs.= $4.16 , 70 hrs= $3.57
What if your a Clerk and get paid Points? You sit on the joint all week and the spot is a total blank and your in the hole because of your $10 a day draw ate up your cut?
These are all real and totally legit questions about life on the road. Most of us guys here that are on the road have been in these or worse situations....Could you hack it?
