(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 big spin double flips 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. Sponsored by: Etnies (flow), Blue Wallace Skateshop (Bowling Green, KY), and Blue Balls Bearings. Bly is looking for deck, truck, and wheel sponsorship. < less

(3:37) Just recently completed a dream of mine. I´ve always wanted to skate vert but had nowhere´s to practice it or even try it..........so I took matters into my own hands, saved up some money, and built my own 12ft indoor vert ramp, complete with a lounge at the top for chill time. This ramp was made by my brother and I love the turn out. After 3 days of riding, I made a silly mistake by not knee sliding and broke my ankle............what a loser! *sigh.... < less

(1:41) In my opinion, one of the most underrated skaters of the early '90s, Brent was a master of the hardest flip tricks. Watch close... most tricks are double flips (inward heel, treflip, etc) and there is even a triple heel in there. Serious tech before anyone cared. I once saw him pull a quadruple tre-flip down 3 stairs. < less

(1:05) Andrew LaPenna is the newest member of the Meanwhile Skateboards team. We met up with him in Nashville to skate at 2 public skate parks: Metro and Franklin. Andrew is so consistent at landing tricks I had to separate the Metro footage and the Franklin footage into 2 different video parts because he was landing more than falling. He's not the most tech skater out there but he can skate most any terrain at full speed and land rolling out smooth. Watch this video of Andrew from the Franklin skate park -- you'll see what I'm talking about. This footy is from Saturday August 9th, 2008. Andrew is from Chapmansboro TN, just turned 17 a few days ago and is looking for a shoe, wheel, bearings and truck sponsor. Side note about Andrew he recently placed 3rd at the Free Flow contest in Nashville - his run in the finals could have held it's own in a pro contest - it was nearly flawless. http://www.meanwhileskateboards.com < less

Mr Clean delivers a nollie big down the drop, sick ledge tech 101 for you groms, and some switch frontside kickflip business just to remind you Bly ain't slippin' on his goofy stance skills...
