July 22, 2010 – (Santa Monica, CA) – In its 4th year rolling into Manhattan, Red Bull Manny
Mania has expanded to take over an entire weekend with an international flair, bringing in
the best technical pro skateboarders and an entire new crop of upcoming dreamers. All the
previous Manny Mania champions will face off against a heavy list of pros, and for 32 amateurs
from around the world, they could possibly step from obscurity into the skateboard spotlight.

WHO’S WHO AND WHO’S NEXT:
ATHLETES ANNOUNCED FOR RED BULL MANNY MANIA WEEKEND

The previous champions of Red Bull Manny Mania – Ronnie Creager (2007), Joey Brezinski
(2008) and Eli Reed (2009) will all be there to try and prove who is truly the manny king. But
there are plenty of guys waiting to throw in the spoiler – perhaps Brandon Biebel, who has
come in 2nd twice, or those rarely seen at contests, like Tim O’Connor and Stevie Williams. Or
maybe the home field advantage will work for NYC favorites like Billy Rohan or Zered Bassett.

There will be plenty of action before the pros set wheels to the course. On Saturday, August 21st,
amateur skateboarders from around the world will compete in the Red Bull Manny Mania AM
World Final. These 32 competitors, from every continent (except Antarctica), earned their trip to
NYC by beating out their country mates in National qualifiers held all summer long. The winner
of Saturday’s AM event will earn a spot into Sunday’s Pro final – an experience of a lifetime for
this group of skateboarders, many of whom have never set foot in the U.S. and only seen Pros in
videos and magazines.

Both Saturday & Sunday’s events are free and open to the public.

Rumors are running rampant as to what will show up on the exclusive skate course but info is slowly leaking. If you want to get more scoop on what’s going on, check out Fuel’s The Daily Habit tomorrow night at 6:00PM because along with Geoff Rowley, Joe Ciaglia, Steve Rodriguez, and musical guest Dan Black, Joe Maloof will be making an appearance on the Habit. Not often does the show get a billionaire to come on. Should be pretty neat. Today’s New York Week episode is all about the upcoming Maloof Money Cup in NYC, and founder Joe Maloof is here to tell us about the exciting new developments. Also, course designer Joe Ciaglia and revered skater, Geoff Rowley unveils the blueprints for the Maloof Cup course.
