Red Bull Manny Mania has been sweeping the UK for the past 3 weeks, and now everything is in place for the grand final in London.
The standard has been ridiculous, with a host of the countries most tech pros claiming places, alongside a couple of names that most people won’t have heard of until now.
The 12 places claimed in the final so far are:
• Mike Wright
• Shaun Witherup
• Chris Atherton
• Joe Moore
• Adam Howe
• Danny Brady
• Sean Smith
• James Gardner
• Chris Gibbons
• Jack Edwards
• Craig Smedley

The London final is this Saturday 25th October, held at York Hall in Bethnal Green. It’s a cool old building which usually host boxing matches. It has gallery style seats all around the action, so no having to stand all day! Like all the others, the final is a free event, there will be stuff given away, and it will be followed by big party of some description… so head down!
London Final – Midday until 6/7pm, York Hall, Old Ford Road, Bethnal Green, London, E2 9PJ
unmissable surely!?!?!
