By Sean Kavanagh: Nancy Squad by the Snake Pit, along with Tongue Biters in 1993 were amongst the very first commercially distributed Street Skating Feature Videos in Australia. The video also shows the early 90s influence of street skating on Technical Vert Skating in Melbourne. From the late 80s until the early 90s, The Snake Pit was at the center of skate media attention in Australia and was the team many up-and-coming skaters aspired to be sponsored by. The video also contains footage of The Famous Prahran Bowl – the center of Australia’s skate scene at the time. Nancy Squad was the second and final Snake Pit Video, before some members of the team moved to the USA, shortly after the release of the video. The Snake Pit sadly closed in the mid-90s. Both Nancy Squad and Tongue Biters are very important in Australian Skate History, as the videos laid the foundations for future generations of skaters - pioneering the pathway for skate video media in Australia. __________________________ Video uploaded to YouTube by Tom Flaherty Nancy Squad Featured Riders: Ryan Denereaz, Sean Kavanagh, Troy O’Mahoney, Christian Dwyer, Al Boglio (Alain), Ben Pappas Pros: Rob Dyrdek, Willy Santos, John Montesi, Alan Petersen Friends: Andrew Currie, Seb Steele, Greg Stewart, Justin Hughes, Ben Harriss (Australia), Gordon Auchinachie (“Gordo”), Alex Smith, Ben Munro, Michael Mackenzie (“Mick”), Steve Kazintas, Jason Burrows, Dion Kovac, Christian West, Eddie Martin, Nelson Carson, Jason Ellis Videographers: Al Boglio (Alain), Greg Stewart, Christian West, Ryan Denereaz, Christian Dwyer, Ben Pappas, Andre Wiesmayr Spots: Prahran Bowl, Prahran Vert Ramp (Original Version) Show less
