Red Bull Manny Mania
Manual trickery was the order of the day on Saturday as a sunbaked Central Skatepark in Manchester hosted the first heat of Red Bull Manny Mania 2011.
With skaters trying to balance their way to the London final and ultimately a chance to represent the UK in the world amateur finals in New York, the judges had a tough task on their hands.

Up for grabs for the top five skaters was a place in the London final on April 30 as well as some Superdead stash.
The best trick of the day, a 360 flip nose manual, was also rewarded with a Nintendo 3DS.
