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:

"Anyone riding pro these days makes a very good living. Mid-level skaters earn $50 to $100K a year, while the really good guys make between $500K and $1 million."
