As an added bonus to the contest $10,800 is up for grabs. Whilst this seems impressive, there’s always a catch: The 1080 contest is open to the four riders that make it to the finals in the Pro Men’s division plus two wild card riders. The six competing riders will each have four attempts to land a 1080 and walk away with $10,080. Tigé also notes that the prize money is split should more than one rider land the trick. Check it out
