Divide that by 2 or 3 for the top 5 in world and you are in the park for annual salary from major sponsor. Hence why I am pushing my kid to golffor example, the pro surfers who compete in the ASP World Tour can make $400,000 (if they win), per contest
just curious what DH racers make
thanks
I find it interesting that you compare earnings to surfing, as opposed to comparable sports?for example, the pro surfers who compete in the ASP World Tour can make $400,000 (if they win), per contest

They aren't making much from prize money. 2750 euros for 1st place at a world cup.

Let me know when the DH Female Calender comes out I am sure it sell 15 copies worldwide. Cause they don't look like this, maybe 1 that I know of and thats a maybe. If they did 10 million would sell easy. Though we can hire models and fake it. this may be NSFW it has hotties in bikinis.....Well at least there's binders full of hot chicks on the DH scene, unlike surfing.
Do it for the love of the sport.The 'risk-reward' ratio in pro DH is just astounding, personal injury wise.
No chance.i'd say top 20 riders probably make decent money, (high 5-figures to low 6-figures).
Well at least there's binders full of hot chicks on the DH scene, unlike surfing.
Well worth the wait though aint it?Jesus, that took fuggin forever for someone "show me up".
I thought for certain you were joking.......Jesus, that took fuggin forever for someone "show me up".
Jackalope KOT'd this thread.I thought for certain you were joking.......
i guess a lot more 'muricans like to sit around and drink beer than pedal around on dirt!Go look at what the pro bass fisherman make. That makes all cycling look stupid.
Yeah sort of the market of DH MTB racers vs the number of Fishing License holders is probably a joke. Check this link out. Its a bit easier driving to a lake 40 minutes away and fishing with a 3-6 year old than it is driving 5 hours to a resort.i guess a lot more 'muricans like to sit around and drink beer than pedal around on dirt!
We need to change the title of this thread to "find hot chicks in obscure sports"
"The 2008 season attracted a global audience of 600 million people per race.[113] It is a massive television event; the cumulative television audience was calculated to be 54 billion for the 2001 season, broadcast to two hundred countries."
top teams are also dumping in $250-400mil per year into their program thanks to the shared revenue from the commercialization of the sport (as well as deep pockets from the teams themselves.)So that sounds like more than WC DH?
But damn, I had no idea it was still such a big draw. Certainly explains the dollars involved.
