Prize money comes from sponsors, not rego fees. Rego fees help pay for the event, but in total are just a portion of the total event costs, which is also covered by sponsors.

So I guess if u got problems with the prize money contact the sponsors who are throwing in dr the event and let em know ur not satisfied as there is not enough money...

Lee you can't seriously be comparing BTB which is a charity freeride session to a World Cup event. The budget for each of these events is over $80,000, I pay over $6,000 in IGSA sanctioning fees for each event, I have a track staff 4 times the size, I require multiple ambulance teams to be stationed on track for 12hrs a day, Entry fees are about the same as every other World Cup Event.

As far as prize money goes the skateboard rego fees and the skateboard sponsors pay for 91% of the budget while they makeup only 80% of the riders. Non-skateboard categories bring in 9% of the budget and get 15% of the prize money. I could have split the street luge prize money between the 3 non-skateboard categories but I would prefer to hold up the luge prize money as I have no intention of giving prize money to a race with only 6 inliners and only 15 Classic lugers who have no threat of elimination during the event and are predominately locally based rather than the events that draw in the bulk of international riders. If luge and inline industry sponsors want to stump up some cash and get behind the event things might be different but at this stage thats not happening.

ASRA makes no profit out of these events, works for nothing and they cost us $160,000 to put on. None of what I say will cut across to the usual ASRA knockers, but nobody but ASRA has ever put on events of this size here so its difficult to explain in full how complicated and expensive these are to put on.

You are of course free to apply to put on your own World Cup Event, source your own money and budget and promote it any way you like.

I feel the same Nick entry is on the high side considering BtB is only charging $100 dollars for two whole days of riding. Which means you can do as many runs as you want or can handle I know theres no prize money to figure in but if all you do is classic then there is no prize money anyway at these events.
