TCB With Skate 4 Homies! (TCB = Takin' Care of Bizness)

Today Skate 4 Homies took care of some business... what did you do?

Here is a quick rundown of what we did today.

We got into New York City this morning at about 4:00 am. or so... right before the sun came up.  Whenever I get to New York first thing in the morning I always tell myself I'll rest up and relax, but I never do... I can't because I'm too excited!


So I tried to rest my eyes in the car for a bit when we rolled up to the World's Fair but that didn't last so Kilay and I set out for an early morning skate.  We grabbed some coffee and cruised around.  It was pretty amazing actually!


Later this morning we went over to the Cup Park where we met up with Ryan.  He's the grand master of the park and helping all the vendors get loaded in and set up. We asked what he had going on and if he needed help with anything- turns out he did!







We told Ryan to put us to work and it actually turned out to be a lot of fun.  We helped set up a bunch of picnic tables and tents for the booths and met a lot of the people that help make the Maloof Money Cup go down.






While we were setting up the tables we happened to see Steve Van Doren and got to meet him.  That was great and we told him how excited we are for the Vans Warped Tour in Utah in August.


There was a practice session today. We saw some people skate some sick lines during practice- this competition is going to be unreal!  Really can't believe we are here!!  The people at SkatePunk.Com posted some footy here.

There's also an interactive skate park at the Money Cup with a bunch of moveable stuff that was built by Joe C. from California Skate Parks.  It's actually a really big area so we helped with that.  We're gonna go back bright and early to help finish up.

It's almost as if Todd never left Salt Lake- he's still got that drill in hand!
When is he not putting together something to skate?

We really can't believe we're here!  We're stoked we got to contribute and help with the set-up today.

Still lots to do to get ready for the main event, including finishing setting up our own booth tomorrow.  Plus, we have some friends from Utah flying in to NYC tomorrow morning so we'll link up with them at some point. So awesome that they're coming out to support us and see the Money Cup!!

Oh ya, the only bad news today was my contact lens ripped... but luckily the people over at American Vision Center were able to set me up with a new pair!

Time to rest up--- deliriously tired!
