Maloof Money Cup at a Close

July 14th, 2008

PLG on the vert We got to spend some time at the cup this weekend (though not as much as I would have hoped) and overall it was a pretty exciting event. I did feel like there was a little too much "NBA" influence. The other downside was the typical fair crowd. Once you get past all that the events were pretty exciting.

Eric and I took turns showing up where we could, but I was lucky enough to catch some action for the Pro Street finals (we even got admitted down to the grass surface for some photos.) The media could have had a little better access to some better shots, but all in all I think we got some nice shots and look forward to getting them all up. For temporary, I have put some on Flickr to get started: http://www.flickr.com/photos/28605642@N06/

I also had a chance to get pretty close to some of the guys like PLG, Shaun White, Bucky and a few others on the vert during warm ups on Friday. Those photos are in there as well.

Well done event over all and the course was sick!
