It all depends on what you want to accomplish. What are you goals? Do you want to make money? If so, are you willing to sacrifice the sport you love (mountain biking) for road riding?

Give me some more details...

I believe the days of big festival like moutain bike races will return to the US one of these days so go ahead and follow your dream to be a Pro MTB racer. You may just be starting at the right time. How do you do this? You train, preferably with a coach, and practice your bike handling skills and race as much as possible. If you start winning, you will rise through the ranks and hopefully attract the attention of some sponsors that will pay you to promote their products.
