IRVINE, Calif. (AP) -- Replicas of some of New Yorks most famous skate spots, including the Brooklyn Banks nine-stair rail, are included in the design of the street course for the Maloof Money Cup New York in June.
The competition will be held June 5-6 at the permanent skate park, which will be built on top of the former Astral Fountain in Flushing Meadows Corona Park. First place will be worth $100,000. The Maloof Money Cup New York is an offshoot of the Maloof Money Cup, which will be held for the third straight year in Southern California.
The Maloof Money Cup, sponsored by Vans, is hosted by Joe and Gavin Maloof, the brothers who own the NBAs Sacramento Kings.
The 16,000-square-foot, $500,000 Volcom street park will be donated to the city through the NYC Parks & Recreation Department's Adopt-a-Park program.
It will also include replicas of the Union Square rail, Police Plaza seven-stair rail, Ziegfeld ledge, Chrystie Park ledge, Exchange Place street gap, JFK Banks, Con Ed Banks, Pyramid ledges and Flushing Meadows Park ledge-over-the-grate.
The design of the course was led by pro skaters Chris Cole and Geoff Rowley, top New York skateboarder Steve Rodriguez and Joe Ciaglia, president of California Skateparks. Cole won the street competition and $100,000 at last summers Maloof Money Cup.
Inspired by some of the best skate spots in the worlds greatest city, the Maloof Money Cup New York street course has replicated, and improved on, spots from each of the five boroughs, including the Brooklyn Banks nine-stair and the Banks at JFK, Rodriguez said. Even the now-off-limits ledge over the grate beneath the Globe-Unisphere is being reproduced as best as possible to make sure that the legacy of skateboarding at Flushing Meadows Park will continue on. MMC competitors will be the first to christen these obstacles that will help define the next generation of skaters to come out of Queens and NYC.
Maloof Money Cup New York features street competition only. The third Maloof Money Cup, featuring street and vert competition, will be held Aug. 4-8 at the Orange County Fairgrounds in Costa Mesa, Calif.

On the same day that Rob Dydrek announced his new Street League venture that includes exclusive competition agreements with Paul Rodriguez, Chris Cole and Ryan Sheckler among others, Joe Maloof was in Flushing along with Geoff Rowley and 5boro's Steve Rodriguez for the groundbreaking on the street course for the Maloof Money Cup's expansion into New York City.
