The Red Bull Manny Mania event in Stellenbosch was really good. I never truly realized now many variations of the classic skate manual were possible. Check out all the action on me video -

Cape Town, 4 June, 2011 – Three local skaters have shown that they've got what it takes to head to Joburg on June 26 for Red Bull Manny Mania 2011, after winning today’s qualifying event at The Son Skate Park in Stellenbosch. They beat out 25 other skaters and will join qualifiers from three other events across South Africa as part of the largest international manual skating competition for amateurs.

“I’ve been working on my tricks and am amped to be representing Cape Town in the finals,” said Keiran Mans, the top skater at the Stellenbosch event. Moses Adams of Milnerton took second and third place went to Zuhandré Yslie of Goodwood.

The winner of the national final will be flown to New York City on an all expenses paid trip to represent South Africa at the Red Bull Manny Mania World Final for amateurs on August 20, 2011. The winner of this event will have a chance to step into the big leagues by competing in the invite-only Red Bull Manny Mania Pro Event on Sunday, August 21 in New York City.

The Finals happen tomorrow in Jozi!
