Out There: Silas Baxter-Neal

Silas never stops. Our 2008 SOTY grows his family’s food, gathers water from a natural spring and still finds time to get bloody in the Portland streets.

Keep up with Thrasher Magazine here:

Watching Silas skate is always a treat, he's so good but in such a relaxed and down to earth way. It's great to learn more about him as a person, and cool to see that way he lives matches is exactly what I expected. Very inspiring. 🍃

Such a thoughtful and well connected role model/skater. No doubt, his children are going to turn out amazing. ☘️

Oregon legend!! Represents the state and people from the state so well! Would be a huge honor to skate with him! Meet him once and was such a cool dude!

Sitting watching this and my cat Silas jumps in my lap and watches his namesake skate. I named him Silas Baxter Neal after the “Habitat: Origin” part dropped. So nasty. Much love SBN 💪

Dudes from Oregon are so humble! Silas is a great example! Also for those who watch football, Justin Herbert is another example! Both of them are from Eugene, OR too.
