First, let us mention that if you haven't heard by now, the Maloof Money Cup Street Team will be year-round now, so keep your calendar marked for when we come to a skate spot near you. We may just pop up on the radar at random too, so you gotta start following us on twitter twitter.com/maloofmoneycup
So the MMC street team was out in full force at our first street team event of 2010 and where else could be finer the the VANS Skatepark in Orange County, Ca! The weather was terrible if you were trying to skate outside, but it was perfect for a skate event at VANS due to it's HUGE indoor skate park. Despite the bad weather, we had about 3 X's as many skaters and spectators alike came out to show the MMC some love and support. We had folks like MRZ takin' action shots of the skaters throughout the day, the head of the Central Valley Am Jam Competition in northern California stop by with their kids to skate it up (MMC is giving away a spot in THE WORLD INDUSTRIES AM STREET CONTEST AT MMC 2010 IN ORANGE COUNTY,CA to the top overall winner at this comp which starts March 13th in Atwater, CA) and the legendary Jerry Madrid was hanging out with the skaters. We don't bring in official judges for these contests, we let YOU, the skaters, choose who was throwin' down the most on each of the mini-comps. Keep in mind that the street team isn't allowed to win in these comps we do, so all you skaters still got a shot at winning our stuff throughout the year.

Oh, and we also mixed it up a little this year, giving away some MMC decks for the winners, a ton of these new MMC TECH DECKS and of course, good ol' Vitamin Water for just about everyone!
The first comp was best trick off the 9 and man, these cats were throwin down some bangers. There was all kindsa crazy going on! We almost thought our own guy Edgar Torres was gonna be the winner until this one skater stepped on deck. Then watch-out cuz the winner of this contest was Justin; and this kid was insane!!! He's got a bright future in skating ahead of him if he keeps it up.

Kids were telling him to stop skating and give them a chance because the way he was killin' it left and right....it was just too unfair!! LOL!

The second comp we had was on the 4 stair and the ledge next to it, but a lot of the skaters decided to mix the tranny into it, which was all good. During this part is where we had seen one of the most impressive tricks for the entire day from Larry Winston who also won it by hittin' tranny to tailslide on the guard rail.

Then over to the best trick off the kicker and best flat ground trick. During the best trick off the kicker, it was so close as to who got the best trick; nollie inward heel off the kicker by Brian and another insane trick by Justin....which slips my mind, anyone remember(Post up here )? Everybody decided that they should solve who the winner was the democratic way, with a game of S-K-A-T-E! These two were goin' at it, trick after trick, with Justin becoming the victorious one. We would like to point out real quick just how much of a class-act this dude is. With Justin winning the game of s-k-a-t-e and best trick off the kicker, he was taking home his second MMC deck of the day, however, he showed excellent skatesmanship by giving his deck to Brian....now that's a real bro right there, YOU ROCK JUSTIN!!! During the best flat ground trick, the winner was easily decided on by all skaters, and it was won really quick with a kickflip underflip - like that son!

Lastly we were over at the mini's which only had a few participants, but man did they bring it. There was Allysha Bergado & Lizzie Armanto shreddin everywhere and Dontae Overton doin it right. Now of course we are a bit partial to a few of these riders since some are on the street team, but they step up when it's game time, so watch out!
All in all, VANS was an awesome host and we're so stoked to have them as a new presenter of the Maloof Money Cup this year. Man, what a fun day.....next stop is Atwater for an appearance to show some LnS (love n support) on the 13th, then back here in chino(ayala) skatepark march 20th.

Holla if you hear us…Westside
PS: Just wanna give a quick shout out to our riders this year. For the guys we got Mark B (Barnett), Dillion (insert cool name here =) Lantry, Edgar (insert another here :) Torres, Dontae 'The Snake" Overton, Keith "Tigger" Wick, Victor "Ferby" or "Bobo" Garcia, Antonio Smith (administrative), Seyvion Collins (video footy), Josh Bates (photo) and of course, our boy Beanz from the newly built (and awesome) Compton skatepark - Throw some Beanz on it!!. It was Beanz' first time to a VANS skatepark and boy, did it make an impression on him, thanks Vans! Can't wait to see you guys in Compton! And for those who couldn't make it like Josh Peraza and Josh Baird and some remote ones like Monte Amundson and Beau Buckmaster (god i love that last name) - sorry you couldn't be here this time fellas

For the gals so far, we have Allysha Bergado, Lizzie Armanto & Mandy Esch is helping us out as well. We need more skaters for our girls team, so come on down and hit us up. We'd love to see what you got and your love for skateboarding, but you gotta hurry because these spots won't last long!
