IRVINE, Calif. (AP) — Maloof Skateboarding has agreed to a three-year contract extension to bring the Maloof Money Cup World Skateboarding Championships to Kimberley, South Africa, through 2015.
The deal with the Northern Cape Provincial Government comes after Maloof Skateboarding staged a successful contest last fall on a custom skate park built near the "The Big Hole," a former diamond mine.
This year's South Africa contest will be Sept. 28-30.
"It was big for South Africa and great for us," said Joe Maloof, who along with brother Gavin owns the NBA's Sacramento Kings and launched the Maloof Money Cup contests in 2008. "They loved it so much that they actually came to us. It was a mutual idea to extend it. It filled up all the hotel rooms and brought thousands of people to the Kimberley area. It worked. They saw some great skateboarding."
Maloof said the contest helped kick-start skateboarding in South Africa.
"We made a statement with the youth and that's what the South African people love," Maloof said. "These kids now have a chance to make a living at it. We're getting to the kids, and that's what counts."
Maloof said a handful of other cities around the world want to host contests, and South Africa was the catalyst.
The Maloof Money Cup began in 2008 with a contest in Orange County, Calif. It expanded to New York and Washington, D.C., where the Maloofs built permanent skate parks.
There was no Maloof Money Cup in Orange County last year and there won't be any contests in the United States this year, Maloof said. He said the brothers hope to resume the U.S. contests next year.
Maloof said the brothers have run into difficulty having a permanent skate park built in Orange County. From 2008-10, the Maloof Money Cup was held during the the Orange County Fair and the course had to be torn out each time.
Last week, the Maloof Money Cup Washington DC Skate Park opened to the general public. Designed by Pro Skater Geoff Rowley and Joe Ciaglia's team at California Skateparks, the 15,000-square-foot skate park is the first major skate park in Washington, D.C. and is inspired by Freedom Plaza and the architecture up and down Pennsylvania Avenue.
"It was important for us to take design elements from real D.C. skate spots and try to replicate them and hopefully complement them as much as possible," said Rowley. "The local skaters will recognize some of these influences like the Freedom Plaza Ledges and the Golden Rail made famous by legendary locals like Pepe Martinez, Chris Hall and many more original D.C. rippers," said Rowley.

Maloof Money Cup series returns for 2012 - Article from ESPN.com
by Chris Nieratko
I get more bogus information coming across my office desk then one can believe (yes, I have an office and a desk) but this tidbit really caught my attention. If true I was going to be really bummed because the MMC is the only contest series currently committed to building permanent skateparks in the places they hold their events. I decided to call Tim McFerran and ask him if Hulk Hogan is, in fact, bald under his do-rag. Turns out the Maloofs are still committed to skateboarding and have chosen to take a page from David Stern's playbook, who has grown the NBA into a global phenomenon since he took over as commissioner in 1984.

With today’s proliferation of mass media, pop culture icons have a tendency to seem overly ubiquitous. They stare at us from the covers of glossy magazines, talk to us from both the small and silver screen, interact with us through our laptops and hypnotize us with their inescapable hit singles. But too often these days, while our biggest stars may be omnipresent in our lives, we feel no genuine connection to them or their artistry.

It’s hard to believe that a veteran metal band like San Diego’s As I Lay Dying could be just hitting their stride now, some 10 years and five full-lengths into an already stellar career. Still, even after just one listen to the quintet’s latest, The Powerless Rise, you can’t ignore the obvious: One of modern metal’s best just got better.

Website: http://www.yelawolf.com
Envision a humid world of slow-rolling Monte Carlos and slaughter houses; meth labs and rusting Mossberg’s, inked up arms and haircuts that look like they’ve been chopped by hatchets. Trunk muzik. Southern Pine trees, smoking pine, and pine boxes. Call him Catfish Billy or Yelawolf, just don’t go make him go pop the trunk on you.
