Call to skateboarders to enter Red Bull Manny Mania

Centred around the "manual" trick aka, the "many", the 2012 edition of Red Bull Manny Mania will be the third instalment of the contest locally. A Manny is, essentially, a skateboarding "wheelie" - a balancing act that is a must-do in any new skateboarder's skill set, but can be made extremely difficult with limitless combinations.

The top three in the 2011 event: Moses Adams, Dlamini Dlamini and Dada Marumo, will automatically qualify for the 2012 final at Wave House. The skater that takes the 2012 Red Bull Manny Mania title will win an all-expenses-paid trip to New York, US, to represent South Africa in the world Red Bull Manny Mania world amateur finals.
