Sacramento's skate scene has had their fair share of local success stories. People such as John Cardiel, Omar Salazar, Stefan Janowski and Brandon Biebel. Skaters are constantly waiting for their moment to shine, some make it and then some break it. The media is a huge part of the skate scene, because having a video come out and being sponsored by a company is important, because you are finally a walking billboard. Being able to have the access to post videos to sites such as YouTube, HellaClips, Berrics, and many other skate sites is crucial. It is one of the main ways to become noticed in the skate scene. The more videos you have the more likely you are to get noticed by companies, skate shops, teams, etc. It is extremely important to skaters to have all of their footage up and available for as many viewers as possible. This week a Sacramento native had yet another big moment to shine in the skate world. His name is Miles Silvas.Miles is 17 years old and was first sponsored as a young teen. Miles skates with his local crew, FOFA, and also rides for PLA Skate (located in Folsom). He has been in featured in videos such as "The Berrics" (which is Eric Kostons and Steve Berras indoor street skate park that features new videos from new and upcoming skaters to the old pros), Organika, and the most recent video for Lakai. Miles Silvas had his newest video come out on Tuesday, and man oh man is it sick! He was lucky enough to be the front page video of Hella Clips (a popular skateboarding video website) Miles is doing everything right and making his name known!
So check him out and enjoy some awesome skating!
