But if you want to get an idea, here are sources of income that can come from Skateboarding, because regardless of amateur or pro, a skateboarder who is sponsored, will generally receive money because they're lending their image to a company.
Contest Winnings
Advertisements in Magazines/Videos
Photo Incentives (A photo showcased in a magazine can generate money from the magazine company as well as flow sponsorships)
Magazine Covers
Signature Products (Clothing, Hard goods)
