(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

(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 Big Spin Flip, Nollie Varial Double Flip, 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. Bly's current age: 15 Current sponsors: Etnies (flow), Blue Wallace Skateshop, Blue Balls Bearings Bly is currently looking for deck, truck and wheel flow sponsorship. < less

(0:49) This footage of Bly Nantz is from February 2008. February and March had lots of snow and rain so we didn't get as many chances to go out and tape footy. Despite that a few clear days opened up with decent weather. He had just sen Fully Flared and was impressed and heavily influenced by Marc Johnson's part. The bank to front pivot fakie is definitely evidence of that. Bly is currently 15 years old. Lives in Owensboro KY.

(1:13) This footage is from March and April 2008. Plenty of ledge footy, street footage from around Owensboro KY, and BGKY Skatepark footy. Definitely a highlight in this footage is the half cab to nose manual to big spin out. Bly is currently 15 years old.

Also includes hubba footy, the WKU double set (which he did first try and then the cops told us to leave), and some other various bits from around Bowling Green KY. Bly is currently 15 years old.

(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 double flip, big spin double flip, 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. He is looking for deck, truck, and wheel flow sponsorship. < 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
