I personally think its kind of absurd to make the womens prize pool equal to the mens when we all know the field will likely be about 1/15th of the size. i know most of you will call me a misogynist for this but I do believe your odds of winning the contest are quite relevant in regards to the prize pools of each group...
 
This is true but we’re also trying to grow interest in the sport and something like this might encourage some women to come out that normally wouldn’t. Of course it would be way more difficult and many more guys in the pool. Making the prize money equal is reasonable but for the trick category and others should probably be representative of the number of people. Either way it’s going to be a fun time hope to see anyone that pops out at bush.

i agree but i also think any female thats into rail skiing whatsoever is already planning on coming out due to the 1/10 odds of winning 4k for a nominal entry fee

I would agree with you only based on what I imagine will be the disproportionally sized fields. However, you have to consider the consequences of having a smaller prize pool for the female riders. It would be a pretty big 'fuck you' to all the women competing. It would basically send the message that even if a female skier pushes herself just as hard (or harder) than any other male skier, she'll get less money for her effort. It would discourage participation while having equal prize pools would encourage it. I think I speak for a lot of people when I say that I really want to see more inclusivity and diversity in skiing and I think it would be sick to see an event where the fields are similar sizes.

I understand your reasoning, but the whole point here is that you dont have to push yourself nearly as hard to defeat 15 people as you likely would to defeat 200. I could almost definitely guarantee that every single girl that podiums in these contests is better than me by a good bit, and ill still gladly watch the highlights and enjoy their skiing, but having two pools of competition with wildly large gaps in participation just doesnt make sense. If were talking about X games or olympics or world cup or any other contest in which there is a cap on the amount of competitors, of course , the prize pools should be the same. But the fact that one of the fields is massive, and the other will almost definitely be tiny, makes this situation quite different.

How do you know what the participation numbers are going to be? How do you know they aren’t capped? Want to be sure to have less girls then give them less money for the same set up and conditions. Want to encourage everyone to participate, then offer equal potential rewards.

your position is half speculative, half ignorant, and fully misguided.

1.) because ive skied in terrain parks before and have used my eyeballs to determine that there are ALWAYS many many many more males than females skiing there. 2.) I dont know they if arent capped but they did not say anything about a timeframe for registration or a cap on participation. 3.) I dont want less females to be there or partake in a ski contest (quite the opposite actaully) , although i can 100% guarantee there will/would be even if the prize for the female pool was 25k.

Idk man I think Dan summed it up pretty well. I think more money will lead to more participation and more even fields. Having less money is a step in the wrong direction

i can PROMISE you, financial opportunity is NOT what is holding females back from pursuing freeskiing

Yeah and worse finances acively DISCOURAGES people from competing. There's already so little money in the sport let people earn a living for christs sake

absolutely nobody is pursuing this sport for financial gain (because there is none unless ur ahall or eileen gu). risk taking behavior is significantly more common amongst young males, leaving more young men likely to get into very dangerous activities like skiing competitively. I apologize that certain things and activities are more attractive to certain demographics, as i know this must hurt you deeply, but there are facts.

idk why youd think im opposed to letting people earn a living. I just dont think its logical to have the same prize pool for a field of 15 people as you would for 200...
 
modelo is right.

Last rail jam I participated in there was 1 female rider and 40 male.

The female got fucked up on a xl feature on run 2, broke helmet, still won first second and third prize.
 
Imagine their backlash if they had just half the prize money for females. I think it’s just to make it equal. Would be good for the female community also, might make some girls more i terested kn going and also go bigger. Don’t see the problem too much really
 
Garbage whiny ass take. So it will be easier for women to win the top prize money, so what?? How does this negatively affect you?? Also the fact that you are unironically calling people “females” kind of a big red flag, idk why but dudes who do that are sexist 99% of the time and it gives off creepy vibes, sorry dude
 
Maybe if women actually put in the work to be as good as the men and manually shorten the pay gap maybe then the pay gap wouldnt exist but women are lazy thats why u be seeing all these big fat ass fuckin whales in the cluiib they dont work as hard as the real MEN

Modelo is on a roll with this shit and shtill getting downbvoted?

modelo I support u dude, ur not trippin bro women fucking suck/

He's actually a no life I believe Eheath is of basement dweller status.
 
If you want it to be a proportionate prize to number of people then it needs to be based on a system where so much money from entry fees go to the prizes. Either way like Dan mentioned cap is probably a good thing and if they both hit cap it should be equal assuming caps are equal.
 
If they got the money to do so there’s no reason to not have it equal, if ur winnin an L1 rail jam I hope ur ego isn’t too big to where you can’t make the same amount of money as a girl without throwing a piss baby tantrum.

idk skiing is at a point where there are a lot of girls who shred as good as the guys, and we should be hyping everyone up. “proportional prize money” is bullshit, equal that shit out.

good people ski good for good money regardless of sex and gender

this isn't 5 years ago. have you seen all the sick ass girl shredders out there, the community is much more open nowadays and the industry is a lot more inviting to them

I mean shoutout to wisconsin there are so many skilled women coming out of troll
 
Top tier shit post from one of the worst members on this website, not that suprising.

This rail jam series is awesome, its what skiing needs and equality in skiing is key to sustained success.

I don’t even want to spend my time explaining why this post is so incredibly wrong in every way but for starters, a $4000 cash prize for ladies is going to draw competition and it’s good for the progression of female participation in the sport and core fundamental events, thus expanding the audience and providing somewhat of broader avenue for female athletes to actually get involved in the sport.

Also equal pay for equal play, if you ever took a physics class or went down a YouTube rabbit hole you’d know everything is relative, so those girls throwing lip 2s is the relative equivalent of Jackson karseters 2p8, and that’s why women are in a separate category to begin with.
 
If you look at that has a mathematical equation, sure your point make sense.

But we’re talking about women’s skiing

it would be nice to have this event with a equal quantity of participation in both categories with an equal cash prices but we might need to put the cash price (money/visibility) in woman skiing first to get there in the near futur

You know whats even more pathetic? You upvoted every post you made in this thread.
 
The MOST pathetic is being too addicted to carbohydrates and fats to keep yourself physically healthy… lacking the discipline to do this in the face of very serious health issues is beyond pathetic…

whatever makes you sleep at night my dude, not sure why you're so obsessed with my life, why dont you focus on hating on women for a bit, wait...
 
Even IF the woman’s field is easier to win

pay women less because there’s less competition —> less incentive to compete therefore less competition —> pay women less because there’s less competition ?

it’s a loop guys
