Pudwill Wins Maloof Best Trick, P-Rod Qualifies First

Torey Pudwill became $10,000 richer after winning The Maloof Best Trick contest on Saturday. The same day that the Maloof Money Cup qualifiers in New York took 45 of the best skaters and cut them down to a 12 man final for tomorrow. Pudwill who qualified second was full of combination tricks all day but it was his kickflip backside lipslide to backside tailslide on the pyramid ledges that sealed the deal. The top qualifier of the day was Paul Rodriguez and having already won Tampa Pro this year, his sights are certainly set on winning the first ever Maloof Money Cup in New York.

Last year’s Maloof Money Cup winner and Dew Cup Champion, Chris Cole took the third spot in the qualifier followed by Bastien Salabanzi who plans to compete in the Dew Tour in Boston at the end of the month. Peter Ramondetta rounded out the top five.
