So we couldn't help but notice this surge of patterned trucks hitting the skate scene as of late. Chomp chomp fellas. Betch'yall wish you would have done diamonds. Nice tie dye.

I just wanted to write about Silas for a minute. The kid is bad. After skating in Barcelona with a bunch of pros from all over for two weeks he easily stood out to me as the most exceptional skateboarder there. Things most people can barely skate regular he'll approach nollie.
He's a perfectionist and a hater. I think proud of it too. Born in a barn and raised in a tee pee in Oregon, some could try and pin hippy on him. Although he likes to make crafts out of flowers and sticks I would not call him a hippy.
I enjoy skating with shredders of Silas's caliber, there are so few in this world.
I would like to point out that I did take him 4 out 5 games of skate.
When playing s.k.a.t.e. it's not about the tricks you like to do, it's about the tricks your competition hates. Silas hates frontside heelflips and switch dog flips. I'm not to fond of those tricks either but I can roll one over and bestow a letter.
Silas rides for Habitat skateboards, DVS, Planet Earth, Bones, and others.
He's sometimes known as the Spicy Leprechaun. He prefers the Krux Techbot so we put him in his ad. Silas poster coming soon!
We are happy to have him on Krux.

Damn! I just lost the first try on this after about an hour of writing. A little frustrated having to re login and having my email erased.

UPDATES:

-Got to barcelona on the 3rd.
-Our luggage (skateboards arrived the 5th).
-The morning of the 5th silas and i got jacked by some older men who may or may not have been undercover cops. Over $400 of fresh perdiem was taken.
-Later that night 3 jackers tried to take silas and i again. We were hostile from the earier precedings and those dudes were lucky to get away with their lives. Weapons were brandished and later we realized we shaould have jacked them. cest la vie.
-There

Krux has 188 friends.
