 Fuck man back in the day when I used to live sleep and breath biking, a neighbor down the road was friends with brandon semenuk. I remember going to the skate park this one time on my urban trials bike and showing him up with all kinds of spins and bunny hops! Haha. He had like an old school P.3 and was fresh into biking. Man how the tables have turned!

 Hiss gross must be outrageous, to own a house of such size, rally car and the things he does in Life behind bars dont look cheap, he is truly living the life.

 Well think he doesn't have to pay for anything it's all free (bikes,cloths, travel,hotels and all the other stuff we spend on biking is all covered ). So think about all the free money he gets. Then he gets paid on top of it, and he was smart he went and bought land the best investment you can make. His car is sweet but it's 10 years old so he didn't go and spend a 100k on it. He's been smart with his cash. My guess is he's probably 150-200k per year in salary and winnings. Plus all the free gear that's prob 20-30k of stuff. Not bad I'd say

 love the way that riding for fun with his buddys means more to him than the big comps... this is what MTB is all about right? getting out and forgetting your troubles for some time, riding and having fun with your friends........

living the dream.... and good luck to him

he has worked hard to get where he is today!...

Sir, i salute you.

 So many people say they want to live in Canada. I'm from Ontario and B.C. is the real place to be. Good luck in Redbull Joyride Brandon! I hope to see some fellow canadians top the podium!

 Last year he won $25,000 from Joyride. His sponsors match all prize money. 5 sponsors times $25,000 + prize money = $150,000 for one competition. Doing well considering he's won the last 6 FMB events

 Does he really have 5 sponsors that match it? Or is that just speculation. If so, wow...

 I tihnk redbull is the only one that matches it 100% plus 10k per year. Most others probably have some sort of incentive but not that much.
