Maloof Money Cup Course Revealed

You could only imagine what three of skateboarding’s gnarliest pros, along with Vegas’s family of moguls would create in concocting a skate park for the upcoming Maloof Money Cup in July. First of all I would have imagined flames coming out of fountains with a launch ramp on each side. A perfectly placed rail slide that runs along a pirate ship with girls in pirate bikinis throwing money at them. Three Cirque Du Soleil acrobats swinging from side to side as the skaters dodge their bodies. And white Tigers chasing them around the course while skating their run.
Unfortunately none of my ideas made it into the final draft of the skate park they did a great job anyway. Andrew Reynolds, Erik Ellington, and Rob Dyrdek came together with the California Skateparks design team to make a course worthy of Vegas standards. It kind of looks like a bunch of Romans built it and it’s a shame that they will have to tear it down after the competition is complete.
