Red Bull Manny Mania was a hit, 5000+ fans flocked to watch an AM contest that should have been more like a pro. The top guys were heavy hitters, as legend judges like Ronnie Creager were impressed to say the least. In all the rain held off for a beautiful night manny jam, and was a banger of a time.

Skateboarder Magazine Best Trick: John Motta, Manny to feeble, 270 out
SKATEBOARDS.COM TV got invited to Red Bull Manny Mania in San Francisco on Saturday July 25th and we readily agreed to show up. I grabbed B-Lo Brando (of the SKATEBOARDS.COM TV the B-Lo Brando Show), Micah Szoke and Canada and we loaded up in the SKATEBOARDS.COM team van and made a beeline for the city we love…San Francisco. We showed up to blow up and set up…what…sorry after hanging with Del the Funky Homosapien I get a bit lyrical. SKATEBOARDS.COM TV set up to stream and our skaters primed themselves on the course..it was time to get down to biznass. Red Bull Manny Mania San Francisco was about to jump off city style and SKATEBOARDS.COM TV was there to capture it all. High noon and Red Bull Manny Mania San Francisco was off the a whitehot start, the weather was great we had a smooth course, chicks were everywhere and the beats kept every ones heads dipping and bobbing all day. After 4 plus hours of skating and an insane performance by Del the Funky Homosapien the winners were declared and given their loot including the coveted Red Bull Manny Mania gold medallion. Here is a post from the Red Bull Manny Mania Site…WINNERS

After Red Bull Manny Mania it was off to LIVE105 and on air with White Menace to discuss the days events and interview Josh from Rebel8 clothing. Overall it was a great skate day and I didn’t leave the city until after midnight.
P.S. before the event started I saw Jake Phelps of Thrasher Magazine cruising the scene and he informed me that San Francisco was on track to build a legit skatepark at Waller St enclosure, thanks for the tip and looking forward to skating another new park!
