The annual amateur and professional skateboarding event was founded by Joe and Gavin Maloof, whose family owns the Sacramento Kings NBA franchise and the Palms Casino Resort in Las Vegas.Joe and Gavin’s mission was to create a new type of skate contest; from giving the skaters the reigns in designing the contest’s custom street courses and featuring the most diverse collection of skaters ever assembled for a contest; to working with cities to leave behind world class skate parks.American RnB music sensation Ciara is also in Mzanzi this weekend and will perform at the skating event on saturday..uumm fun times in the motherland!!!
