Maloof Money Cup Hosts Christmas Dinner at SA Skatepark
Written by Admin
On December 23rd, the Maloof Family, Maloof Money Cup staff, and members of the NCG hosted over 160 youth and their families from the skateboarding community in Kimberley and the surrounding township at the Maloof Cup skate plaza in Kimberley South Africa. "It was a great opportunity for us to give back, that’s what Skateboarding for Hope is.” said Joe Maloof, owner of Maloof Money Cup.
A Christmas dinner, gifts and prizes were awarded throughout the evening as musical groups performed. "The skate park in Kimberley has become an example to Kimberley and the world on how a private public partnership can work to the benefit of the community, we are extremely proud of this partnership. Not only has it brought worldwide attention to Kimberley to the extent that this great city has never seen before but the park has become a community gathering spot for activities like this dinner. This really has a positive meaning that Kimberley can be proud of.
I have to credit great vision to the leadership of the Northern Cape. Vision for the community, is about looking into the future and creating a plan that helps the community grow over the next 5 to 10 years and the NCG has really done that. This is not just an event that comes and goes, it’s about building a lasting legacy that benefits the community and it has worked beyond all of our dreams.” - Joe Maloof
I want to give special thanks to Adela and Ebrahim (Braimpie) Adams for organizing and give their time to see this project work, the Adam's family are heavily involved in the community and we are proud to call them friends.
We are just so thankful to Kimberley and the community that this was one of many tokens of our appreciation.

LUAN OLIVEIRA WINS MALOOF MONEY CUP SOUTH AFRICA WORLD CHAMPIONSHIPS
Written by Admin
Decenzo second and PLG makes it three in a row on the vert.
(Kimberley, South Africa, 30 September 2012) Brazilian Luan Oliveira went head to head in an epic battle against Canadian Ryan Decenzo in the final jam to win the street world championship title and $100 000 at the 2012 Maloof Money Cup South Africa presented by Kumba Iron Ore.
Oliveira edged out Decenzo with a sizzling display of tricks including a switch big heel, 360 flip and a switch frontside flip, which had the jam-packed crowd roaring with approval. Decenzo took out the charismatic Manny Santiago, who was a huge crowd favourite, with a 270 backside lipslide, nollie heel and a switch 270 to front board.
Canadian vert skater Pierre Luc Gagnon aka PLG showed incomparable form on the vert course today with nollie heel 540’s and a varial heel 540. After the scores of the mini mega and vert contests were combined, PLG took the title of 2012 Maloof vert champion for the third consecutive year and picked up a cheque for US$75000 after a tightly contested battle with Brazilian Bob Burnquist and American Andy Macdonald.
The South African amateur skaters came out fighting for the finals of the amateur championships with Kanya Spani of Johannesburg finally winning the title and the R8000 prize money. Spani killed the competition with an amazing run on the second section, including a 180 to fakie 5-0 and 180 out on the bank to ledge. Capetonian Simon Stipcich finished second after a spectacular switch tre-flip lipside on the A-frame rail with Durbanite Braxton Hane in third place. Justus Kotze and Jean-Marc Johannes both from Cape Town completed the top five line-up.
For the second year in a row, the greatest skateboarding event in the world filled Kimberley to capacity. Accommodation facilities were totally sold out, while shopping centres and restaurants were filled to capacity for the past week. Flights into Kimberley from Cape Town and Johannesburg were booked out for several days.
At a media briefing earlier today, Tim McFerran from Maloof Skateboarding commended the Northern Cape provincial government for their continued support and hospitality. “The passion of the people of the Northern Cape for this event and skateboarding as a sport has ensured that it becomes a year-round happening in the province instead of an once-off event. The event will be screened nationwide in 800 theatres throughout the States on Tuesday with further broadcasts to 200 countries, which will firmly focus the attention of a huge global media audience on Kimberley and the Northern Cape. This competition has definitely seen the best skateboarding in the world and we can’t wait to return to South Africa next year,” stated McFerran.
McFerran also thanked the hundreds of well-wishers, who expressed their concern for injured vert skater Danny Mayer. Mayer sustained lacerations to the head and sustained a concussion after a bad fall on the mini mega ramp and was hospitalised overnight at a local hospital. He was released earlier today in time to cheer on his fellow vert skaters in the final.

SPECTACULAR START FOR MALOOF MONEY CUP SOUTH AFRICA
Written by Admin
Brazilian Luan Oliveira put on a spectacular skateboarding display on day one of the Maloof Money Cup South Africa presented by Kumba Iron Ore in Kimberley on Saturday to headline the line-up of finalists for Sunday’s Pro Street World Championships.
The action-packed semi-finals saw strong performances from the Brazilian skateboarders and Oliveira thrilled the crowds with his kickflip noseslide 270 shuvit out. Canadian Ryan Decenzo killed the big section with tricks like switch 270 to front board and switch blunt slide down the rail.
Brazilian Filipe Gustavo and Micky Papa of Canada join the top two to automatically go through the top bracket for the finals. Last year’s runner-up and former South African Tommy Fynn once again received tremendous support from the home crowd and qualified with impressive tricks like a kick flip crooked grind down the rail. Fynn was edged out of the 2011 finals by Ishod Wair last year and looks in superb form.
The official opening ceremony on Friday night saw thousands gather at the Maloof skate plaza for a fun-filled evening with live entertainment by Jack Parow, La Des and DJ Dino Bravo. Thousands of skateboarding enthusiasts packed the stands to see exhilarating skateboarding action during the street qualifiers and the mini-mega finals as well as a live performance by international rapper superstar Lil Jon. Billed as the greatest skateboarding event in the world, the contest carries a total prize purse of R4-million.
Action came briefly to a halt when Danny Mayer fell and injured himself during practise. He is currently in a stable condition in a Kimberley hospital.
The vert skaters came out strong in the mini mega and had the crowds on their feet. Bob Burnquist took first place with an incredible backflip over the gap and a forward to fakie 720. PLG was second with a hard flip indy over the gap and a nollie heel flip 540 on the quarterpipe. Andy McDonald finished third.
