Maybe change who you can sign with? Some local companies or Pros would shun you for selling out? I think going for just money would have you end up a lot like Shaun White. Guy is really good, and casual skier/snowboards/fans think he is awesome, but you wouldn't have the respect of actual community. And his line of clothing is sold at Target. Compared with Henrik: Armada, more true to the community, just having a good time. I think the best stat to effect would be style. Less intense you go for big events/making money, the less robotic your body looks. This makes sense because judges usually like the super clean, less style, bigger air more flips.
Also maybe it keeps you out of some events, local Dew tour stuff.
