I am a slacking kind of guy, I know my job and I know my place. But just like the next guy, I enjoy hanging out with my buds and having a brew.
Well, I arrive at Maloof Cup yesterday, covering the finals. The way I see it is everyone is covering the contest. Rob Brink.com has soo much coverage it's insane, not to mention FUEL.TV, Skateboarding.com and Skate Daily!
So on the way to the street course I got sabotaged by the Zoo York van full of secret brews. The van door slides open "Heeeeyyyy, Get in here!" they cheer. As soon as I take a seat, they pop a top off the cooler, and it was like golden treasure. If I must remind you, it was about 85 degrees and I hadn't even gotten to the shade-lacking course.
A couple cold ones and a chat with the Zoo TM/BM, and he was notified that the finals were over. Wow, time just flew right past and I spent the entire finals in a van with some ugly dudes. But, at that point, I couldn't really complain.
Finally, best trick was starting (I was also notified via text) and we headed off to witness the last 5 minutes of this already high energy and over covered event.
**Couple updates:
- Some knarly homie 900'd in his run, he won, obvees.
- Some dudes got robbed and should have placed higher. (like in every contest)
- This was the knarlest skating ever in skateboarding history. (I also hear that at every contest)**
So here is my blog post about all the random things that you DIDN'T see at Maloof Cup, don't hesitate to head to a couple of the sites above to view some real skating. Have a good one, and lemme know what you thought below.
