Philadelphia Red Bull Manny Mania Recap

Taking home the cash!

Thanks to everyone who made it out to Manny Mania last Saturday here in Philly. Good times and great skating. I had the privilege to be a judge along side with Zander Taketomo and Mike Maldonado. I was right to be nervous about participating as a judge, because it was a barn burner and competition was fierce. After 10 heats of 5 skaters, and the semi-finals wrapped up, we were left with the final 4 skaters remaining (and skating for a $7,000 camera/computer combo package and a boat load of cash): Spencer Brown, Ishod Wair, Bill Pierce, and Jamal Smith.

Here is how the contest wrapped up:

1st Place - Spencer Brown
Sponsors - Plan 6, FKD, Silver, DC Shoes, 3ride Shop, Jus Lir Clothing

2nd Place - William Pierce Jr.
Sponsors - ES Flow, Insight Apparel, Boner Bolts, KCDC Skateshop, Exit Skateshop

3rd Place - Jamal Smith
Sponsors - Zoo York, Nocturnal Skateshop, Converse, 10 Deep

Best Trick - William Wresilo
