[August 18, 2008] New Freddy and Bly Footage From Nashville

New footage of Bly and Frederick skating in Nashville at Metro and Franklin Plaza.

Frederick was going BIG over the rail, grinding the rail, sliding the rail... you get the idea. Frederick threw down.









Bly's video is a little shorter but no less impressive -- he nollie flipped the Franklin 8 set in four tries. Check out their videos - they don't disappoint.

 

   

[August 3, 2008] And The Winner Is...

Bly Nantz won the back to school Game Of Skate contest. To those of you who have seen Bly's skill's on flatground it probably won't come as a surprise. He won a deck of his choice from Blue Wallace. Because Bly rides for Meanwhile skateboards he traded it in and payed little extra to get one of the latest Krew TK letterman hoodies.

   

[July 28, 2008] Freddy and Grayson Free Flow Results & Footage

Here's the footage of Frederick competing in the Free Flow Tour contest at Sixth Avenue skatepark in Nashville TN on July 20th. Congrats to Frederick for making it all the way through to the finals heats (top 8 competitors). It was no easy task.

Grayson Certain has a few clips in here too. He and Freddy competed in the same qualifier jam session heat of 5 skaters. Because they were in the same heat it made it difficult to get all the footage of every trick they did. Only the top 2 skaters in each heat advanced to semi-finals heats. Freddy made it through - Grayson did not. Despite the fact that Grayson was eliminated in qulaifiers Grayson threw down some serious skating... Check the huge tuck knee Grayson does over the big box.
