manny mania 2010

Words and Photos: Ryan Flynn

Red-Bull is putting on their annual Manny Mania contests across the globe this year. Winner of it all gets to compete against the pros in New York later this summer. Skateboarder is a proud sponsor. Skatepark of Tampa guys put it on and it is a really fun event, even if it is 95 degrees out. It was good to see everyone in Orlando, and in Charlotte, It's like little reunions, so if there is one of these near your town you need to go...even if it is a good distance away.

For the schedule and more information go to Red Bull Skateboarding.

Montessi with a Stalker

Steiner smiling as usual

Bert Wooten was there. He might have won....

Montessi got a new camera, unfortunately Clements don't know crap about cameras.

Jonah Owings of Hazard County Construction/Skatepark ....Skateboarder, Business owner. These are the types people hire, and if they don't maybe you should think about that.

Orlando set up early in the morning. probably 10 am here and already too hot.

Don't worry, Yonnie Cruz didn't judge anything.

Bert did win! He is going to Woodward next..

Charlotte NC early in the am. Already hot here too.

Schaefer and Clements flirting. Anything SPoT does is pretty much the best event. After so many years of doing it why would you hire non-skateboarders to put on your skateboard event? Because your a poser thats why.

Meronek ice cream sandwich breakfast of ballers. Rob likes chingrish and the first 5 letters of his last name is a chingrish grab maneuver.

Red-Bull has the best music truck. X-Boxes, tv's, turntables...

Nothing is complete with out Sturgil "that Horn boy" Horn.

Jed too...boss!

Big Al works hard pre and post event so he can chill during.

Jimmy Lannon is staying in Atlanta for the summer so he rolled with Burner, Hoagie, and Adam...Atlanta Hates Us lifers. Get that Grit and Grime video before its free online!
