She might wanna check the attitude..........With only 7 months of stunting under her belt, I kinda doubt it's her riding skill that has allowed her to turn pro

That's what I was thinking?

How exactly do you turn pro at something you've done for such a short period in comparison? My guess is she gets more attention due to her looks than her actual skill which is comprised of the most basic tricks. Yes she can stunt better than me, but I can't claim "pro" status to anything I've done for 7 months.

The last one seems to be her latest progress I guess? I don't follow the sport that close but I can still confidently say she is not a pro. She seems way tense during her wheelies, and doesn't hold them or the stoppies for any real extended period of time. And her burnouts get going and peter out real quick. Good for her on what she can do in that time frame, but pro status not found yet.

All you have to do is be able to earn money doing something to be a professional at something. I'm sure that she goes out to shows and does a wheelie or something like that in front of the crowd, or even rides on the same bike as teh other guy doing tricks while she drags her helmet on the ground.
