The Red Bull Manny Mania Am Series had their Boston stop this past weekend. I was on hand to host the event and entertain the crowd. Skaters from all over New England rolled into City Hall Plaza to show off their skills on 2 wheels. There was 64 competitors at the event, and only 4 of them walked away with some cash. Pro skater Tim O'Connor and the crew from the Orchard Skate Shop were there with clear eyes to judge any and all manual tricks. There were plenty of flip in-flip out tricks going down from everyone, but it was Mark Dodd who took away the win and the $500 first place prize. The best trick was changed to the MVP award when New Hampshire skater Matty Johnson shredded everything on the course. The weather was great, the crowd was great, and the free burritos from Chipotle were good too. Big thanks to Seth and Pete at Red Bull, Matt Bagley and the Orchard Crew, and all the East Coast skaters that came out to support the event.
