The best parts of the Southland combined into one
awesome course.California Skateparks just released the design for the 2010 Maloof Money Cup OC's custom course. Pro skaters Geoff Rowley, Rune Glifberg, Bob Burnquist, Pierre Luc Gagnon (PLG), and Bucky Lasek designed the 12,000-square-foot street course to recreate a bunch of local spots from the Southland. They chose these famed spots as inspiration:
1. Big Surf Wave Pool/Tempe, AZ
2. Bump to Barriers/Long Beach, CA
3. Quarter Pipe Hip/Huntington Beach, CA
4. Santa Monica Pier/Santa Monica, CA
5. Sadlands Planter/Orange County, CA
6. Triple Set/Los Angeles, CA
7. Venice Ledges/Venice Beach, CA
8. Radical Ledge/Los Angeles, CA
9. Fountain Water Gap/Santa Monica, CA
There is also a brand-new Carl's Jr. vert ramp, designed by the same pro skaters. The ramp brings back the mini-mega ramp, but this year s design offers a more complete competition. A rail, a jump and a combo element allow competitors to skate all aspects of vert and a giant pyramid hip in the middle of the vertical ramp will give it more of a street feel. Get ready to see some big air action on the quarter pipe and more technical moves on the vert ramp and rainbow rail.
The comp, presented by Vans, will go down August 4-8 in the OC Fairgrounds. The Money Cup is one of the highest-paying skate competitions out there, with pros and ams competing for a total prize purse of nearly $450,000. You can check out all the action with a live webcast from Fuel at www.fuel.tv/maloofmoneycup.
Events include the VOLCOM Street Pro, Carl s Jr. Pro Vert Championships, Women s Pro Street, World Industries Amateur Championships and the Tech Deck Best Trick contest. The event will also feature a special Masters of Street and Vert demo and a 50,000-square-foot Festival Village offering skateboarding activities for all ages, autograph signings and live music.
"Southern California is the birthplace of street skating, with Venice, Santa Monica and Orange County being the epicenter, said Rowley. This year s Maloof course takes design influence from the diversity of the famous iconic spots within this zone; some that are still around (Santa Monica Pier) and a few that are not (Sadlands). This year s Maloof Money Cup is going to be totally awesome, totally radical and totally off the wall."
