Press Release: In one of the most heated battles in Red Bull Manny Mania history,
amateur skaters from around the globe proved that skateboarding is a
universal language. Belgium’s Youness Amrani went trick-for-trick
against Spain’s Dani Delgado, earning the win and the honor of claiming
victory over the world on two wheels.
Manhattan’s Coleman Park served as the perfect backdrop to the
skateboard battle between 32 nations, each of whom held a series of
qualifiers and national finals that crowned their representative. The
32 skaters then faced off against each other in heats of 4, narrowing
down to the top 8 for the semi finals. Spain’s Delgado led the pack
with his tre flip nose wheelies. Four moved on to face off in a final
between USA’s Bert Wootton, Australia’s Dean Palmer, Amrani and Delgado.
The skaters amazed the crowd of 1500 spectators with trick combinations
that were inventive and challenging, including Amrani’s manny 5-0 to
360 flip out, which the judges were quick to claim as the trick of the
day. The skaters each had a distinct style, from Wootton’s reverts up
and down the pyramid obstacle to Australian Palmer’s sleepy smooth
approach. The new manual master Amrani was excited but humble about his
victory, “It
was really sick. It’s not too much pressure. You can take your time and
keep it mellow. It worked out for me. I got lucky I think.”
The prize for winning the World Final is an amateur’s dream – an
all-expenses paid trip to skateboard Mecca Venice Beach, CA to spend a
weekend skating with event creator and manual superstar Joey Brezinski.
First though, Armani earns a spot into Sunday’s Pro final to compete
against the previous champions of Red Bull Manny Mania – Ronnie Creager
(2007), Joey Brezinski (2008) and Eli Reed (2009) and other popular
skaters likes Brandon Biebel, Kenny Anderson and Stevie Williams. The
pros already have their eye on their new competitor. Brezinski quipped,
“I‘m honestly a little frightened of the guy that won today.”
The second place prize is a Mac Book Pro with Final Cut and for third,
a Canon Eos Rebel T2i. Although he didn’t win, Delgado was thrilled
with how his day went, “It
was the best contest ever. I saw so much good skating. I saw more
tricks that I’ve never seen before in my life. It’s really exciting.”
Perhaps the biggest prize for these skaters is getting the exposure to a global audience. As judge Charlie Wilkins put it, “I
was psyched because I’d never seen half the stuff they’d done. The
Belgium kid just destroyed it. It’s like, ‘Come over to The States and
make a name for yourself.’”

Abend Niko. In dem Text fehlt das Wort "nicht". Sorry. Zum Thema selbst: Ich würde ja jetzt die Red Bull Leute in DE fragen, hab aber NULL Kontakt zu denen. In den USA war Hopf regestriert. Ob er auch da war, ich weiß es nicht.
