CCS Rider Silas Baxter-Neal...Skater Of The Year 2008
Nov 23, 2009 2:46 PM CST
Last year was a hell of a year for Silas Baxter-Neal. And when the smoke finally cleared from his firestorm of destruction, he was left standing as Thrasher’sSkater Of The Year 2008. Rather than ramble on about Silas’ year, I’ll give you a quote from legendary Thrasher Editor, Jake Phelps, who sums up exactly why Silas was the mags winning choice.
“Silas Baxter-Neal was our choice for Skater of the Year for a few reasons. He ripped in our mag, he didn’t over-Dew it, and he blew our minds with each new shot that came in. Progression, aggression and a cold brew at the session all add up to the 2008 SOTY. The underground has spoken.” -Jake Phelps
The SOTY official announcement is a week away and everyone here at CCS is peeing their pants with excitement. To get you all psyched for the big day the way we are, here’s a little video retrospective that gives some shine to last years SOTY winner, Silas Baxter-Neal.
