Maloof Money Cup

Maloof money cup just ended this weekend and it was the biggest prize money ever paid to a contest in skateboard history. The 10 top best girls pro skateboaders in the world were invited to compete and take home 25k plus a Nixon watch.
Friday july 11th: All the girls were skating to go to the finals but only 5 ones advanced to Sunday.

Sunday afternoon Finals included the final five qualifying skaters. Skaters were scored in two ten-minute jam sessions. They average the two scores for a final score. The skaters shredded the course and showed the world that girl’s skateboarding has progressed incredibly.

Leticia Bufoni was qualified in second and it was everyone’s favorite after land 3 new amazing tricks: flip front board down the rail , flip back lip and frontside blunt slide. Unfortunately she got hurt really bad and had an injury on the first jam session…she got up and lost the first jam and recovery and skated the second still hurt.

Elissa Steamer is always an inspiration to all of us and a myth. Noseslide the habba and kickflip down the gap first try.

Vanessa Torres is back and she’s back to skate better than ever: noseslide down the habba, back tailslide , back lip down the rail and a lot of style .

Rachel Reinhard is coming up, and all the young girls are stepping out. Rachel is an example: kickflip down the big 17 stairs on the last jam session and was the first girl to start skating the big set.

Lacey Baker was amazing and really is been coming up over the pass year.
Perfect control over the manuals and huge 360flips, fontside flips and hard flips. The highlight was the nose slide to nollie heel flip on the long long ledge. Congratulations to all the girls.
