what would it be??

personally, i would have to say golf. payouts are good and there is minimal wear and tear on the body, which assists with my skiing years. and besides, golf is AWESOME.

if that fails, i wouldnt mind being tanner hall either lol

Rally America Driver
WRC Driver
Formula 1 driver
Professional Wakeboarder or Waterskier
Professional Hitman

That about sums it up, I would either want to be on the water, or going fast in a car, I don't think I could be a pro skier, I love skiing but I couldn't do it year round, I love the summer too much to do that.

Either a skateboarder of Ryan Sheckler esque status (not personality), the dude gets paid. Or race supercross. but i think being a pro skier would be the shit if you make enough money on it and get set for life iwth companies, much like Rob Dyrdek with DC

Id want to be a nfl kicker. The average salary for kickers is 500k, and they dont really do much. It wouldnt be a bad living.

well its the perfect job. you get half the year off, you never have to play, and you get paid a lot of money. you basically get paid hundreds of thousands of dollars to sit on your ass.

probably in skating, cause that one is a little more in reach.

But if we are talking about magically being pro in whatever we want, skiing or inlining.

Yeah right dude, driving 200 mph bumper to bumper would be "boring?".

Either way I'd probably want to be a professional MMA fighter in the UFC.

Oh yeah, I forgot F1.

So assuming it was any sport but skiing, it would probably be Formula 1, then soccer. But skiing tops the list.

They dont make a lot just yet, the most well known fighters like Chuck Liddel make $500k for a big fight. Most low key fighters make like 20-30k a fight.

not sure where you are getting 250mil per contract for soccer.

the highest ever was Beckham at about 50 mil i think. And that was to the LA Galaxy and only because americans seem to think beckham is the greatest soccer player to have ever lived.

I'd be a soccer player though. I think it would be perfect
