Mid-Eastern Skateboard Series

Brian Beauchene

Hometown: Knoxville, TN
Still skating? Yes
Occupation: Owns a skate shop
Favorite MESS memory: One of the best times was rolling up to the Pheasant ramp (I think) in Jay Cabler's truck with a keg of beer. When we pulled up at the house and opened the tailgate a cloud of smoke came billowing out.
Influence of MESS: We had a lot of fun at Mess contests, and it was more about skating and hanging out with friends than about winning the contests.
