Damn the thread below this comment is pretty sad, are we all that negative about other success? If you take a look at early edits of these lads, they were driving around in clapped MX5's (miata's), they've worked their way up. Sam Reynolds: made it into the elite scene in 2012 ish?, so thats 13 years of sponsorships. Has over a 1/4 mil subscribers on youtube, which he's been consistently posting on for 6 years. Owns Pinkeye glasses with Matt Jones. Not sure how the money works for Darkfest, but he's made that event the commercial entity that is today. Plus has done some commentary work. Matt Jones: Nearly a mill on youtube. Probably went pro a year or two after Sam, so say 10 years of sponsorships. His frames of minds videos on redbull, redbull presenting work. Owns: Helfare clothing, Pinkeye, Cascade interactive (unsure what this is) and has an investment holding company to look after his assets I assume. All this stuff compounds, they are talented riders who had not a lot, that pivoted into social media, making Ad revenue, sponsored posts, generating revenue through codes and affiliations, making their own products that their audience buys and then doing presenter work on top of this. Its easy to see how Sam could afford a Lotus and Matt that Ferarri when you think about the above, not least as that Ferrari is probably an asset in that investment portfolio which is appreciating. Good on them both. Get some perspective people, and do some research! All the above is available to read about on companies house
