CHAPTER

The Differences Between National Teams and National Teams

"It's different every country. Some, some pay like some have like if you make top this, you get this much as a scholarship or something," he says. "Some countries that are maybe not doing so well, but they have like really good support." The national team in Norway is controlled by its own people instead of outside groups calling the shots and putting snowboarding in the wrong direction, I guess.

Uh, and that's why a lot of people read for the national teams is because like certain countries pay really well, uh, to ride for the national team. Like the government pays you to ride for the country, right?
Speaker 1
Yeah, or at least they some, it's different every country. Like some they. They made a bucks. This bro. Some, some pay like some have like if you make top this, you get this much as a scholarship or something, you know, and others might support your housing like Norwegian team support your housing, but you buy lift tickets and planes. Yeah.
Speaker 3
Uh, every bit helps. At one point we
Speaker 1
had some more sponsors for the team and we, we got a bit more like, but uh, it's all different from the nationalities. It's pretty crazy that a region national team didn't have a sponsor this season with Marcus Cleveland and Mons. Wild. Being the two top dogs on the scene and you have to fund all your, you almost have to fund your coach coming at some point almost. Wild. But then some years since others and some countries that are maybe not doing so well, but they have like really good support. So we had the cool thing for the national team in Norway is that it's, it's all in federation, it's board federation for skateboarding, snowboarding and surfing. So it's controlled by our people. Yeah. That's unique. Not other people meeting up on the meetings and calling the shots and putting snowboarding in the wrong direction, I guess. I don't know.
