Rowley will work closely with a team of pro skateboarders and experts alongside Joe Ciaglia from California Skateparks, whose company has built all four Maloof Money Cup courses since its beginning in 2008.
This is yet another example of why the Maloofs have been able to be successful with the Maloof Money Cup. Take care of the skateboarders and the fans first, and you will be successful for along time. Also get one of the most respected skaters of all time to build your courses; that's not a bad idea either.
Rowley has made an impact on the skate scene since 1989, is part owner of Flip Skateboards and a sponsored rider for Vans. He was named "Skater of the Year" in 2000 by Thrasher magazine and was recently named to the magazine's "15 Most Loved Skaters of All Time." He was featured in the Flip videos "Sorry, Really Sorry" and the latest "Extremely Sorry," both of which won best video of the year upon their release. "Extremely Sorry" won best video, best team and soundtrack of the year at the 2010 Transworld Skateboarding Awards, plus best video and best soundtrack at the first ever L.A. Skate Film Festival.
Rowley is known for designing the skate courses after his favorite places to skate around the US. Most of the past MMC designs featured different elements of famous skate parks like Hollywood High, Brooklyn Banks, and the Santa Monica Pier.
This is going to be a big year for the MMC, with the addition of the first ever World Skateboarding Championships in Kimberley, South Africa September 28 - Oct 2. Also the Maloofs are expected to announce in the near future, the MMC will expand to a new city in the US this year.
Check back for the latest on the MMC.
