Bluemoonusawme....., Hi, i just read your statement about shaun and the appearance fee for the wsc in the chat..i just wanted to tell you that i agree with you, i don’t understand how he takes money from his sports..i am a shaun fan but that’s really a big disappointment for me. But since terje is really open about it, it has to be true, right? sad..i really love your tumblr and i love the fact that you are not afraid to have an opinion! xoxo lola

I think if your going to do a comp the only money you should get is prize money not an additional appearance fee. I haven’t heard of an athlete doing that before; charging a fee just to show up to a comp. Weird. I would understand it from a business standpoint if he wasn’t already making a ton from other endeavors. Terje said they couldn’t afford to pay him what he wanted which was higher than the prize money. Start at 3.50 http://www.snowboardermag.com/exclusives/x-games-15-interview-w-terje-haakonsen/
