Moses Adams from Milnerton, Cape Town is the winner of Red Bull Manny Mania 2011 in South Africa, held on Sunday 26 June at the Revolution Skate Park in Kempton Park, Johannesburg. He beat out 12 other finalists at the South African finals as part of the largest international event for amateur manual skaters.<\/p>\n

\u201cI didn’t expect to win, but gave it my all. At the end my legs were so tired and numb, so I just tried to act like I was alone at the park skating. And I thought, if I can pull this off then maybe I can win. The event was awesome, I had fun and now I’m exhausted.\u201d<\/p>\n

Dlamini Dlamini from La Lucia and Dada Marumo from Johannesburg finished second and third, receiving prizes from Session magazine and Element.<\/p>\n

According to Red Bull Manny Mania judge Brendan Body of Session magazine it was a very difficult competition to judge, due to the high level of skating.<\/p>\n

Moses Adams will be flown to New York City on an all expenses paid trip to represent South Africa at the Red Bull Manny Mania World Final for amateurs on 20 August 20 2011. The winner of this event will get a chance to step into the big leagues by competing in the invite-only Red Bull Manny Mania Pro Event, on Sunday 21 August in New York City.<\/p>\n
