So if you weren’t at The Commons Skate Park last night you missed a great show… the lovely peeps at Red Bull held “Manny Mania” here in Halifax. The quality of skating on this day was unrivaled by any regular day at the skate park. Guys came from all over N.S. to participate and show their best manualing skills. The stars of the evening were Johnny Purcell taking 3rd place, Alexander Mitchell coming in a close 2nd place to Neil Blackwood who came in 1st. Neil now gets to go to Vancouver on July 17th and compete in the Canadian Finals… Good luck!! We were all impressed with the skating that happened last night and congrats to all the finalists, you guys were awesome.

Here are some photos from last night;

 Last night we held the MM Benefit Auction andthe Pro Skates deck release of the summer at Uptown on Quinpool Rd. We just want to say a huge thank-you to everyone who came out to show their support and placed bids towards MM. The evening started off with Lobster, sausages and veggie dogs on the BBQ, potato salad, veggies, lobster rolls and more goodies lining the tables outside. The fooseball table and tunes were playing, and the inside tables were lined with wicked items up for auction! The turn out was great and we were so happy to see all your faces. Everyone seemed to have a great time; between 6pm-9pm there was lots of talking, beer drinking  and bid placing.

There was lots of items from so many of our generous reps; WeSC jeans, headphones and shirts, a Burton mens jacket, an Element Plaid jacket, Sitka mens and womens packages, Billabong goodies, a Home Grown Deck, a complete longboard and even a DC deck that was signed BY THE WHOLE TEAM! The bidding tables were over flowing with kindness and support from all over Canada.

The New Pro Skates deck of the summer “The Cape Islander” was a also in the spotlight. Our very own Greg Boudreau same up with that one ladies and gents. He stayed with the nautical theme from the last deck “The Salty Seamen” and it looks great. If you couldn’t get yours last night, don’t sweat… there are plenty to go around in lots of sizes! Get yours from Uptown or Downtown, whichever suits your fancy for only $49 bucks including grip!

So for anyone who missed out, here are some photos so you can feel like you were there.

Thanks again to all our reps, friends and family that were there helping out, placing bids and donating to help out a member of our Pro Skates family.
