What Makes a Pro Skateboarder a Pro?

What Makes a Pro Skateboarder a Pro? How do you become a Professional Skateboarder? What's the difference between pro skaters and ams? A reader named Pat asks - "I've seen many good skaters. They have their own names on boards and shoes, and even have parts in skate videos. But I read on Wikipedia and Transworld skateboarding that they are amateur. Not pro. So i was like...wow, if they cant get pro's yet even with their talent, how good do you have to be to turn pro???" Curious? Read about it in What Makes a Pro Skateboarder a Pro?
