With Red Bull Manny Mania Am Series events running throughout the US, bringing the event to SoCal required a little more as we hold skateboarding to higher expectations here in the mecha of the game.

So we wanted to ensure the the right riders were going to come correct, so we brought $5,000 to the table and announced $2500 to the winner.

With that info out there, everyone and their teen sister would want to jump in, but to ensure it was the right dudes, we went to all of our TM friends at each of the Board, Shoe and Clothing companies and told them this would be an Am invite only event, so nominate 2 riders to skate the event.

And you can't just have a small field to take home that kind of coin, cats need to earn it, so we decided 48 riders would round out some nice competition.

So with all that info out there, the dudes are coming out of the woodwork to display manual skills.

Here's who's confirmed as of 8/24:
Ryan Decenzo, Justin Schulte, Steven Webb, Angel Suacedo, Tony Karr, Grant Patterson, Morgan Smith, Keelan Dadd, Spencer Hamilton, Nick Tucker, Marshall Heath, Jamie Palmore, Larelle Gray, Derek Fukuhara, John Lupfer, Justin Cefai, Rodrigo Lima, Ray Maldanado, Tony Montgomery, Ricky Webb, Chris Van Berkom, Nick Trepanier, Dane Vaughn, Adrian Adrid, Damian Loud, Norman Woods, Marty Murwski, Paul Kwon, Mark Suciu, Richard Flude, Billy Roper, Stevie Perez, Matty Chaffin, Cesar Fernandez, Matt Miller, Spencer Brown, Nate Principato, Carlos Zarazua, Zak Allegri, and more coming...

And to fill you all in with whats going on during the day, Casey (sans his Captain) will be on the mic with co-partner, Active's Corey Cady, also known by pseudonym as "Frijoles Blancos".

Also, someone needs to decide who's better than the other dudes, and it sure as hell ain't gonna be us - these special guests will continue to be announced...
  • Skateboarder Mag's Editor and Top Dogg, Jaime Owens
  • Legendary World/Globe/Dwindle Video Lord, Socrates Leal
  • Two Wheel Wizard & 4 Time Manny Mania Competitor, Danny Montoya from Listen Skateboards.
Lastly, what's a contest without the beats, and let me tell you, we're bringing the heat. Hiero will be in the house with a mid contest live set from DEL tha Funkee Homosapein and Bukue One w/ DJ InkaOne on the 1's and 2's all day long. Gonna get crazy!

About our event partner LONG BEACH FUNK FEST - what's the contest if we have nowhere to skate? Red Bull Manny Mania LA will be taking place in the streets of Long Beach as a part of the Long Beach Funk Fest. They've alloted an entire city block planned for Manny takeover with ridiculous acts playing only a block away. For those into the Funk game, Mandrill, The Meters, Breakestra, Dawn Silva, tons more - we've all gotten influence from some of these dudes. Funk Fest goes Noon to Midnight, so make sure to check out the shows before and after the contest; Check out www.longbeachfunkfest.com for more info.

Its gonna be an insane day - See you out there.

PRACTICE STARTS AT NOON - CONTEST STARTS AT 2PM
*** Please think about Public transit as an option or look to park further and skate - as event parking could be a bit nutty!

FYI - If you are a rider wishing to compete, we are only accepting sponsored Am's for the LA event (Sorry...), so go to your board, shoe, clothing, etc team manager and ask them to contact their dude at Red Bull to get you in the mix. Only a couple of spots left.
