BambooSK8 was found this weekend at the Maloof Money Cup not only to promote the bambooSK8 brand but to see all the intense competition for the huge $ prize money; $100,000 went to Chris Cole for winning the street contest.  Everyone and their brother from the industry was out, so it was nice catching up with all the folks who make it happen…  The fans were going crazy beating those little aired up bats like they use to do at the baseball games, which became annoying but nonetheless, we all appreciated the spirit.  Quite a few people were found stealing seats, which sucked for us that had assigned seats in specific areas under the shade (still about 90 degrees) so we had to yell a few times.  Since we were at the Orange County fair, we even took a moment to ride an elephant.

TRANSWORLD:

The second annual Maloof Money Cup went off today at the Orange County Fairgrounds with (just like we said last year), some of the gnarliest skateboarding we’ve ever seen in a contest. Young vert ripper Alex Perelson nailed a 900 and first place in the vert comp, Adam Dyet landed a kickflip back tail down the Rincon rail and took the Best Trick, and Black Box dominated the street course with Chris Cole taking first and the 100 Gs and Tommy Sandoval coming in second. Not too bad for a day’s work. Photos, videos, interviews, and everything else in between will be coming to you in the next couple of days. Stay tuned.
