520 _a"While action sports have grown far beyond their renegade beginnings into an $8 billion- to $10 billion-a-year industry, a handful of athletes have become household names, and one or two dozen have become millionaires. Yet there is growing dissatisfaction among some participants, who believe not enough money is trickling down to the athletes who perform the perilous stunts, especially those whose careers exist below the top tier." (NEW YORK TIMES) This article reveals that as extreme sports "athletes seek to exert more influence on the industry and preserve its authenticity, careers begun in rebellion against mainstream sports have developed some of the same conventional workplace concerns long ago addressed in more established professional leagues and tours."
