Men's Category of Slopestyle Will Not Proceed - Crankworx Rotorua 2024 [Updated with FMBA Statement]
@jsnfschr: I think PGA is a bad example, if you're on the tour as exempt you apparently get $500K/yr. Lower ranked players receive $5,000 in expenses when they miss a cut.

I don't think it's unreasonable for people that qualify for the event get basic expenses covered. There are what, 16 people in that picture above? Even at $5k per that's $80k. I think they can find that money, or at least reimburse them for flights and offer a bunkhouse or hotel room. We're not talking about the thousands that show up for a marathon.
