Maloof Money Cup New York Releases 48-Skater Roster

One of the most prestigious contests in skateboarding won't just be heading to New York City
this summer, it will be bringing along 48 of the top pro riders as well.
On Tuesday, the Maloof Money Cup ("MMC") announced its full roster of 48 skaters that will skate in the 2010 MMC NY, and the list is an impressive one, indeed. Among the riders competing in this year's contest include no fewer than seven Thrasher Skaters of the Year (Chris Cole, Marc Johnson, Mark Appleyard, Geoff Rowley, Brian Anderson, Eric Koston and Mike Carroll), 2010 Tampa Pro Winner and Nike commercial star Paul Rodriguez, and love-him-or-hate-him ex-MTV heartthrob Ryan Sheckler.

Outside of the big names that will be competing in MMC NY, this year's roster also boasts a handful of soulful skaters who don't normally compete in contests.

"Besides the big names like P-Rod and Chris Cole, we've got some highly respected skaters like Mike Carroll, Dustin Dollin and Marc Johnson who don't usually skate contests and some amazing guys who are competing at MMC for the first time like Justin Brock and Anthony Van Engelen," said MMC creator Joe Maloof.

The contest will be held on June 5-6 in Flushing Meadows Corona Park, Queens, and will be broadcast live on Fuel TV.
