What is a pro skateboarder's salary?

Answer 1

Pro skaters dont really have salaries. They receive money when they show up in contests. They get free merchandise from their sponsorships though. They can make a big amount of money by selling their merchandise.

Well Once The dew tour this year finished Chris Cole walked away with 100,000$ for coming in first place. You also get money from magazine articles, sponsors etc. It depends really.

Athletes at that level are not typically paid a salary. They make their money from winning events and from product endorsements. Technically, it isn't about "earning" anything. It's about what they can negotiate.

Taken from the following article:
