(1:41) This footage of Bly Nantz is a bit older from early October 2007 when he was 14. There are three main spots he skates in this video: Nashville TN Metro Skatepark, Franklin TN Plaza, and the KWC area in Owensboro KY. We drove 2 hours down to Nashville to check out the Franklin Plaza for the first time. Bly got there and just threw down the backside flip without even ollie'ing the 8 set first. We didn't get to stay long as a friend's truck broke and we had to go back into Nashville to get him a new truck. We were at Franklin for a little over an hour. We the truck fixed and went to Metro (aka CWC). Bly hadn't been there since January of 2007 so he was really eager to skate the euro and hips. Again jumps out of the car and starts killin the place. Cab flip up the euro gap, tre haymaker up the euro. Metro was oddly vacant that day so Bly was able to hit a hip that you normally can't come at the way he did because if the flow of traffic. So he nailed 4 bigspindoubleflips over the shallow hip - the one you are seeing was the cleanest of them. Bly kills tech street manuevers due to the fact that we have no skatepark in Ownebsoro KY so when he gets to go places and skate he's usually trying his tricks on new obstacles for the first time - and that's largely what you're seeing in his footythat I post here.
Bly is currently 15 years old.

(1:52) This footage is a little old - from when Bly was 14. This was from the afternoon of November 6th 2007. Bly was grounded for a bad grade in pre algebra but was allowed to skate and tape in front of his house. He pulls the following tricks (in no particular order): Switch Double Heelfip (2x), Switch Triple Heelflip, Fakie 540 BigSpinFlip, Nollie Varial DoubleFlip, Tre-Haymaker, (short line) Switch Tre Body Varial to Tre-Haymaker. and probably some others I can't remember off hand. All tricks taped in less than an hour. The switch triple heel was done in 4 tries. Practically all these tricks Bly has on lock now and is trying to get them down a local 5 set. He's rediculously good at flatground because we have no skatepark in Owensboro KY. The majority of spots are an instant bust - and he's already been ticketed - which really did not make his parents happy. Watch the footy - you'll be impressed.

(2:04) This footage of Bly Nantz is from September 2007 when he was 14. He had gotten on Etnies at the end of September - so you see him wearing a couple of other brands of shoes in this footy. He obviously owns this drop at the Bowling Green KY skatepark. Once he's landing a trick off the drop he can quickly take it to the 5 set or larger. There's an arsenal of tricks in this video: cab flip, nollie tre, nollie inward heel, switch doubleflip, bigspindoubleflip, backside flips over a 5 set handrail, quite a few manny tricks, and lots of switch business. Keep in mind he's regular footed. At this point his switch tricks are smoother than most people can do in their normal stance. I think this was his first switch tre down the drop at the BGKY park.
Anyway - Bly's current age is 15. His current sponsors are Etnies (flow), Blue Wallace skateshop, Blue Balls Bearings.
