Red Bull spinning: The new bloods in the Shay’ iMoto competition

As the Red Bull Shay’ iMoto spinning competition draws nearer we take a look at the new bloods in the competition to see if any of them can cause an upset thanks to a special advantage that they have.

While they may never have been part of the competition, they have had the advantage of watching the previous three events and they have seen first hand what it takes to become a champion.

They have also seen how other spinners have handled the obstacles on the pitch so this gives them the opportunity to practice and perfect their routines.

This advantage might mean that the new bloods come into the competition and shock the veterans.

If these spinners can learn to control their nerve in the competition they can definitely give the veterans a run for their money.

The judges; Magesh Ndaba, Jeff James, Shahiem Bel, and a fourth guest judge, together with the live audience will definitely have their hands full with deciding who drives off with this year’s title.
