Athletes, FMBA & Crankworx Forge Agreement, Ensuring Slopestyle World Championship Events to Proceed as Planned
If this was all so easy to solve, honestly I’m pretty pissed off that they (riders, organisers, everyone) screwed the Rotorua event for us. It’s not like kiwis can just pop out to see a different world class FMBA or DH event next week. This is the one time each year we have to celebrate our sport on an international stage. Fuming tbh.

Results: Slopestyle - Crankworx Rotorua 2024
So good! If you look at how much women's ski and snowboard has progressed in the last few years, slopestyle is going to be so great!

@jonemyers: Rotorua is a ghost town this year. You’d be lucky if there were a couple of thousand people here.

@Joebohobo: they’re all paid by sponsors and TV money. The FÍA doesn’t pay F1 drivers and FIFA doesn’t pay football players.

@xciscool: interesting. I was trying tot think of examples where pros get appearance fees (as opposed to sponsor and team payments). Not many examples out there. UFC?

Not sure how I feel about this. Riders are the reasons the event exists (and the only reason I bought tickets), but at the same time DH and XC competitors would never expect an appearance fee. Feels really entitled.
