RED BULL MANNY MANIA CONTEST AT SPOT.....

Manny Mania, the only thing I Can say bad about the contest were the Love Bugs. Cesar Fenandez came back to Orlando to visit and compete in the Red Bull Manny Mania Contest. We took Josue Sanchez with us, traffic was smooth,we made a stop by Havoc Skateshop in Lakeland to visit with Sean Jeffries, dropped off some fresh wood for his trip to the DamnAM in Minnesota. Josue was really concerned about the love bugs. I assured him he could wash the truck after their session at the SPOT. We met with Alex Pellegrino at SPOT, the boy's skated the street course and bowl.

I found Brian Schaefer having fun on his Vert Ramp, giving everyone a lesson on lip tricks. Brian Schaefer BL..

The Red Bull Staff closed down the Manny Course, getting it ready for the contest. First stop was the car wash, Josue, Cesar and I scrubbed off the love bugs, found some dinner and headed to the Hotel
Nice breeze outside, sit in the shade and watch the action. The scene was chill, everyone having a great time. The skating was fun to watch.

The Red Bull Manny Mania was definitely a very creative format. It was fun to watch,The obstacles were definitely top notch, and you had to have some skills to skate it. Ryan and Brian kept the crowd laughing while calling the action.
