I could have easily titled this story "Krux loses am team!" but that would have been ultra negative and we didn't really lose anyone. I just thought I'd blow a little smoke at ya...
What's really going on you might ask?
Two of Krux's finest amateur skateboarders have just reached professional status!
Silas Baxter Neal and Dan Murphy.
Silas.
Dan (and Shaq).
Seeing as how Silas skates for Habitat and Dan skates for Mystery this is totally a big deal. Those companies don't just throw out pro models (or even flow sponsorships) lightly. Both of them have been working their asses off over the last 2-3 years and its really inspiring to see it all pay off for them.
So you see kids? All it takes is mind boggling talent, 210% determination, an attitude/image that fits the brand, a savage work ethic, and a whole lotta luck!
No prob right?
Seriously. These guys are good. I'm sure you've seen their coverage and hopefully you've seen Dan's ending part in the Mystery video. He's also got a full part coming out in the new Nike video!
Silas is on the last push for his Habitat part which I have a feeling is going to knock the stinkin' socks off your feet.
Take a look at this lil' part he's got on the Habitat site. I really don't think I can write the term 'throw away footage' about this clip. Its too good. Check it:
Silas Shreds!
I know right? Savage.
Keep that in mind when you're making your 'sponsor me' vids there guys.
And it case you haven't seen it...:
Run Around Sue
Excellent Shredding and excellent song.
Good job Dan and Silas. May your shoes have your names on them one day.
