The Maloof Money Cup -- the world’s greatest skateboarding competition airing on NBC and MTV2 this July ⎯ announces the top 36 street skaters who will compete in the 2009 event taking place July 10-12 at the OC Fair & Event Center in Costa Mesa, Calif., during opening weekend of the OC Fair.
Last year’s street competition showcased some of the most progressive skateboarding ever witnessed in a contest. This year, the Maloof Money Cup, part of Alli, the Alliance for Action Sports, will once again set the bar with the most impressive and comprehensive group of skaters ever assembled for a competition.
Presented by etnies and Monster Energy, the Maloof Money Cup is the largest pursed event in the history of professional skateboarding with more than $450,000 in cash and prizes awarded in three professional U.S. Championship Competitions, including the Carl’s Jr. U.S. Pro Vert Championship, the Zoo York U.S. Pro Street Championship, U.S. Women’s Pro Street and the World Industries Amateur Street and Vert Championship. New this year, Tech Deck will award $10,000 to the skater with the “Best Trick” of the Street contest.
“This is an unbelievable list of competitors,” said Joe Maloof. “We’ve got some of the most respected skaters in the industry, some who haven’t competed in years, along with some of the greatest contest skaters out there. We’re so grateful to the skateboarding community that has embraced us and worked with us to create something truly remarkable. This year’s event is really unprecedented in regards to the level of talent assembled and the course designs. It’s going to be a spectacular competition, and I hope it’s one that people will be talking about for years.”

Szafranski, Kennedy, Duffel? Really? half the people on this list dont even skate in contests. Some of them have never skated in a contest! Then theres the obvious missing names for usual top 10 skaters. No Kyle Berard? No Mike Peterson? No Mike V? No Alex Chalmers? I mean c'mon, Rowley hasn't skated a contest in years. Doesnt have to. Might as well add Rodney Mullens name to the list. Geez. Another invitation only CLUSTERF*CK!

RYAN THOMPSON HAS THE MOST POTENTIAL OF ANY SKATER OUT THERE. YOU HAVE TO GIVE HIM A CHANCE. IF U REALLY WANT A GREAT ATHLETE CHOOSE RYAN THOMPSON IN YOUR WILD CARD SLOT.
by CARCASSMON
No Mike V? As far as creativity and ability, crowd appeal, and skateboarder respect, he's a no-brainer. Please consider him when compiling the Wild Card skaters.
