Are you sure you have just about all of the gear you're gonna need? If your gear list is any indication I don't think so. I don't see any f2.8 zoom lenses or supertele primes or weather resistant bodies in there.

As far as schooling goes, I assume you're just finishing high school. Have you been taking pics for the school paper and yearbook? I would suggest college and work on the paper there. If college isn't an option, you might try some local pro or semi-pro sports teams and see if they want some pics done, to get your foot in the door.

i have been taking photos for the school , i can NOT go to university (college) as for the gear goes - i forgot to mention that buy the time i finish school i will have most of the gear i need - how do u sell your photos to newspapers , and buy sport i meant Xsport like bmx , sk8tbrd

I would say start out at the local level. Taking photos of the average Joe Blow. Then talk to some one with the local contest or association to see if you can shoot. If other Xsports are anything like rodeo you just have to pay your dues and become one with the group. Then work your way up as you meet people. If your good enough it will come.
