Athletes, FMBA & Crankworx Forge Agreement, Ensuring Slopestyle World Championship Events to Proceed as Planned
How good would a job need to be for you to pay to fly to the other side of the world and pay for your own food and accommodation as well as equipment just to *possibly* get to do that job for less money than you paid to be there. Especially if you could do the same job as a hobby for free at home?
They aren't asking for bass fisherman money, they are asking to be able to give the show organisers an event and do the thing they love without losing money.

Video: Max Fredriksson’s Perspective on Why the Male Slopestyle Riders Decided to Not Compete at Crankworx Rotorua
The "Big Cheques" for the winners barely cover expenses for these events. Making the prize money for 1st half of the cost of getting to the event so the person who comes last can get lunch but none of their flight paid for is not exactly progress.

If you work for a salary or hourly wage and you are complaining about a group striking or unionising for better pay and conditions you are a class traitor.

Head to Head Review: 2023 RockShox Zeb vs Fox 38
That's mentioned in the article, sounds like Fox makes a lot more money outside the US on their stuff.

Bosch Expands ABS For E-bikes With TRP & Tektro
The market for dirt bikes and dualsports is quite different from emtb, particularly the more XC/trail type emtb. Dirt bikes are almost exclusively ridden by enthusiasts who want to get slidey in the dirt and don't mind feeling like they need skills to control the bike (even if they actually don't have the skills) eMtb has a large portion of its riders who just want to go and safely get exercise on gentle trails and definitely don't want to risk skidding and crashing.

I tested the Shimano version at Eurobike. Its insane. You can just mash the brake lever as hard as you can and you just...slow down. I am not sure I like it, but its impressive as heck.
