(Irvine, Calif. — May 17, 2011) The Maloof Money Cup (www.maloofmoneycup.com) presented by Vans and airing live on FUEL TV — announces the roster of pro street skaters who will compete at the first Maloof Money Cup event of 2011 in Flushing Meadows-Corona Park, Queens, New York June 4-5.

This is really top to bottom the best group of skateboarders in the world,“ said Joe Maloof, Maloof Money Cup founder and owner of the NBA’s Sacramento Kings and the Palms Casino Resort in Las Vegas. „The depth and breadth of this roster is the best yet for a Maloof contest – from the best rookie pros to the most dominating and respected pros over the last decade – it’s a wide open field and really anyone’s to win.“

MMC NY PRO STREET ROSTER (in alphabetical order)

„This year, we are unveiling a new head-to-head jam format,“ said Mark Waters, newly named Director of Maloof Money Cup.  „It creates the fastest pace for the contest while still encouraging skateboarding progression. There is no penalty for missed tricks, but greater difficulty will result in higher scores.  Just like skateboarding on the street, with this format guys won’t be able to play it safe. They’ll be constantly pushing progression and that’s why the energy of a Maloof contest, and the level of skating displayed, is like nothing else out there.“

Offering an increased first place cash prize of $160,000, the New York contest will take place on the pro skater designed street course featuring iconic New York skate spots that was built for the contest last year and left as a permanent skate park for the community after the event.  Tickets are on sale now at maloofmoneycup.com.  The Maloof Money Cup festival village will feature the most notable skate brands in the industry offering giveaways, activities for all ages and autograph signings.  The festival village will also feature DJs, food and a Jumbotron showing live video of the contest.   Admission to the festival village is free.
