This is a joke right? Maybe Maloof should not waste many hundreds of thousands of dollars putting on this ridiculous contest every year and donate all the cash!!!!!!!!!!! Am I the only one who sees the irony here???

To the dude the posted First ! the Maloofs could easy give up the cash but lets get other people involved and try to build this thing. The contest is great and if you dont think so your missing out. Try to be Positive and not a dumb ass! It seems that when anyone steps in to do something right we got one idiot that tears it down.
do yourself a favor and look in the mirror and say im a dumb ass 4 times and i should help and instead of complaining .People cry when people help skateboarding and cry when people dont.
