Luan Oliveira Wins 2012 Maloof Money Cup

Meanwhile, in deepest, darkest Africa the Maloof brothers have flown in a bunch of A-list skateboarders to compete in the strangely placed Maloof Money Cup in Kimberly, South Africa. Luan Oliveira walked with the $100,000 first prize, but we still don’t understand any of the logic behind the entire event. Seriously, what is the Maloof angle? Is it De Beers diamonds? Does Kimberly just need to spend tourism dollars? Someone, please explain it to us, because the skaters we’ve spoken to can’t explain it either.
