For the last 3 years, thousands of participants have all put their two wheels to the ground with the Red Bull Manny Mania events across the U.S. and U.K. This year the event is taken to a global scale, from America to Europe to Africa to the Middle East, skateboarders will attempt to balance on two wheels and hope their technical trickery will earn them a coveted spot in the August 21^st contest in NYC, where the best will be chosen.

The winner from each national contest will compete in the World Final in New York– judged by a panel of renowned skaters and industry experts. Durban’s Gateway Mall will host the South African Red Bull Manny Mania contest at the Wavehouse Skate Park on 18 July 2010.

Boasting some of the best professional skateboarders in both the contest and video scene, the Red Bull Manny Mania Pro event has become part of the legendary Skateboard Weekend in New York and has brought such greats to the city as Eric Koston and Chad Muska, manual experts like Joey Brezinski and Brandon Beibel and hot newcomers like last year’s USA winner Eli Reed and 2^nd place finisher Mike Mo Capaldi.

The event is all based off the manual skate trick – where Red Bull Manny Mania got its name from - a balancing act that is a must-do in any new skateboarder’s skill set and yet can be made extremely difficult with limitless combinations. Who will join the best this year? Who will be the chairman of the United Nations of skate? Red Bull Manny Mania 2010 in Durban gives an opportunity for one skater to battle their way from their neighbourhood streets to the biggest stage in the world to join the skaters they admire – and who knows, maybe even beat them.
