Today was the Skateboarding for Hope Tour in Bloemfontein, South Africa. Maloof Money Cup, Element, Converse, and Dickies provided 25 lucky under privileged kids with t-shirts, complete skateboards, keychains, stickers, and beanies. Big thanks to Gavin at Boogaloos and Wandile Msomi and Sam Khumala for hosting the skate clinics and skate jam contests. Working with cold weather and limited space, our crew was able to conduct the skate clinic and best trick contest without interruption from mother nature. Thanks, mom. Big ups to Markus at Old School productions as well for making the haul from Cape Town to show his support.
Dolf, JP du Preez and others started off the day with a launch ramp over the fence sesh, where Dolf pulled this melon within 3 tries. Dolf didn't quite place, but he undoubtedly killed it all day.
Juan Greyling was a definite standout throughout the day with his huge pop and clean style. Juan placed top 3 in both events, here he is proving himself with a nollie lazerflip off the box.
Stuart Walker was a personal favorite of ours, with nollie boardslides down the rail, an all-out style, and front feebles up rails:
Finally, we have Warrick Delport, who killed it all day with his smooth style and effortless consistency. Warrick had crazy tricks like front blunt down the rail, as well as noseblunt, and this kickflip back lip.
Warrick won the wildcard entry and will be representing Kimberley in the Maloof Money Cup Am this September 28-30! Congrats, Warrick!
Big shout out to Boogaloos, Old School Productions, Northern Cape Tourism, Volcom, Monster Energy, Iron Fist, Dickies, and Converse for making this all possible!
