so looking at the crankworx season they have 4 rounds so at most it'd roughly cost them 280 grand tops for the slopestyle season.At most I'd reckon.

20 riders.so factoring in prize money would the cost of the riders demands be around 50-70k all up or thereabouts ?
for Cairns:70k was for the 6 riders.
if slopestyle gets 20 riders it might be looking more towards 500 grand, per round, maybe closer to 750?
so like what 2 million or thereabouts for a 4 round season ?
That’s definitely a fair point. I do think the riders have a point and even though it’s come to a head now, if you watch any of the riders that have done videos on it, it’s been something that has been a while coming. As you rightly point out the bike industry is hurting pretty bad right now so it’s hard to see a way out of the current stalemate.I feel like the riders don’t have a good read of the room, have a look at the bike industry as a whole - it’s in real trouble. But steep calling out for cash when there isn’t cash around.
Whilst I have massive respect for the riders, and what they do, they really have backed themselves into a corner. The options would be:-That’s definitely a fair point.

I can. Red Bull. They support crankworx but could easily take it over. And expand it. But you are not wrong. They are in a corner so it will be interesting to see how it goes. I just hope everyone comes together and we see them hit Cairns.Whilst I have massive respect for the riders, and what they do, they really have backed themselves into a corner. The options would be:-
1. Live with what you have, or
2. Breakaway and start their own series.
The peak of slope style is crankworx whistler, how could you replicate that? I can’t see how.
Yeah just before Cairnsdidn't look further into it but heard they've struck a deal
and not on at stupid o'oclock.Yeah just before Cairns
