well, i am 15 and for my main money maker, i am a helmet painter for Infinite Art Works(and i am the best one) but dont think just cuz im 15 that i do crappy paint jobs. on a good month i will make about 500$ a month. thats about 3 helmets. were not gettin too much buisness lately but when we pick up again next winter i will make close to 800$ a month, but in the summer , i am an umpire at my local little league field. i get paid 20$ a game so i get about 500$ for that. its fun and i really like baseball too. so for some of yall , you might want to look into being a umpire. i had a blaster but recently bought a 250r. next year i wil be racing nationals with my bud that races a 400ex so i can travel with him in his trailer.

 

i am 14 and work at a marina at the lake in my town but i just started in August and am going to buy a 400ex when i get the money but it will be a while becuase of school cuts my hours down but my dad has bought me every machine ive ever had he doesent ride either.

 

Hey, My names Patrick im 14, i ride a 2000 yamaha blaster, most of us kids have to brib our parents for a few months and then they take out one of those payment plans, then with our allowance or some little jobs we do we pay half the monthly payment, so in the end we pay for half the quad, and the expensive accesories, the way we get those, we let our friends ride our quads and when they break something they pay me what the part was worth then we get somethng better. Does that answer your question???.

 

i am 13
im going to get a yellow 400ex soon
i work my *ss off on a farm and
i got $4000 since last summer

86 trx200sx
turf tamers
400ex coming soon

 

I am 17 and I worked for 3 and a half years until i had enough money for my quad. My parents wouldnt help me pay for it at all, and i have to pay for all the maintance and if any thing breaks.

 

Well... I've got to be honest... I havent bought hardly anything for my quads. I have a 250R thats almost fully modified except for the engine. My dad paid for it because he knows I love to race and he loves watching me. and just like ugly said, I usually dont even ask for the stuff, dad just looks through the mags and asks "Whats this do?" "Do we need one of these?" and if we do, I'll sometimes say it would help but I never say we NEED it. hell I'm just happy to have a 250R. I do buy most of my riding gear though. Thats not much but its better than nothing I guess...

 

I got a job with my neighbor who owns a Landsacpe Maintenance company. Worked for a full year to buy my Blaster. Sold it, and have waited almost another so I can buy a 400EX (Hopefully this Spring). Parents won't pay a dime for anything. Thats ok i guess.

 

It is good to hear from some very ambitious young folks. I remember those days of busting my a$$ to buy my "toys" when I was a teen.
Good topic Medsker, WELL DONE!

I am 14 years old, and recently got my 300EX this summer. I worked all summer long in the flower bedsa at home and at my dad's new office. I did have a Kawasaki Prarie 400 4x4, but i wanted something more thrilling. So me and my dad went looking for me a quad and ended up getting a 1998 300EX with Super Trap exhaust, DG full skids, and I just put on a Lonestar Axcaliber Axle, Lonestar twin roller axle carrier, Renthal handle bars, Acerbis Rally Pro handguards, and soon a Ceet gripper seat

 

I'm 15 and I work every saturday and sometimes sunday. And in the summer I work every day after footabll practices when i'm dead tired i go work the rest of the day. All of my friends say i'm crazy for doing it but it all pays off at the end of the summer when i'm riding on my quad and there at home sitting on their couch bored our of their mind.
