[@heypenske]

Primitive documentary editing is on god damn point, each one.

[@rahmanpermana4741]

i know right

[@brandonnicholas6440]

facts def made me more of a fan of them as a whole

[@thomaslobjois3981]

It feels like he did more in 4 months with Primitive than he did in however many years he was on Numbers.

[@nestormerinoayala9827]

Numbers is such an oddity. Seems almost like an underground small-time company. They've got great skaters but one doesn't see or hear much from them.

[@yo_its_bo742]

I think he was only on Numbers for about a year or so. He suits Primitive so much more. I loved how he came up on Organika though. Strong roots

[@SaulGarcia-hz6gg]

Haven't watched it yet, but I already know I'm gonna want to street skate afterwards.

[@bmonterroso]

😂 I almost wanna just skate and watch at the same time

[@leifkreutz6222]

Good thing I’m skating street in 20 minutes

[@gti_patryk3567]

I’m gonna hit the park and practice switch feebs smiths on a rail haha

[@naterolon8439]

Sammmeeee

[@naterolon8439]

Silva makes nollie heels look so damn easy

[@paulbrendanawicz4609]

What's more impressive is that Miles part standout so much... it was by far my favourite from Encore

[@docmcstuffins5859]

Fr!!! To have second to last part in four months is wild! Definitely my favorite part other than Franky’s.

[@geronimosaldana1267]

Thats what im saying..i watch his part alot

[@L3H3NG]

Miles has become one of my favorites over the past couple years. His style, trick selection and steez is so beautiful! It inspires me to skate

[@friturass]

Interesting to see PRod fixing cracks himself. I pictured him smoking a big cigar while sending them boys to do the job

[@DFunct905]

iggymenez Paul always seemed a down to earth type of guy to me.

[@saxenas]

like MJ lol

[@jordans2346]

he’s a skate rat at heart

[@jondough3339]

Paul “ I can’t speak for him” Rodriguez

[@afonsosilva9928]

Was looking for exactly this coment lmao

[@nvision26]

I see Miles Silvas I click. Because he’s just so damn good.

[@amillionbeats1]

Mr Silvas is easily one of the illest to come the last 10 years to pro . His style is unmatched and fits primitive like a glove . I’m so hype to see what him and Carlos bring to the table soon.

[@ktornai]

Sometimes the imperfection makes things perfect: touching the ground on landing that kickflip at 8:35 makes it so beautiful and unique.

[@freedoe9160]

Switch

[@skuiff7578]

was steezy af

[@DFunct905]

Nothing wrong with a hand touch on a big trick, but beautiful and unique? I’m not sure about that.

[@yessssir4581]

Miles style, skating and clothing, is unmatched

[@TheredstrawberrySRK]

Primitive is killing it with this series. Between the PLA part and encore a few months after Miles was def my SOTY last year

[@shnaazy]

Cool showing how much of an athlete this guy really is, and no lie not a single person on this planet who makes adidas look that good! Best skater on the best team, such a good fit

[@arthurvalenzuela857]

Hell yah Miles Achievement of your own and for sk8boarding it self This is what sk8boarding is all about "Encore"👏👏👏

[@Kickflipr868]

Miles is in a class of his own. His skill with his style is unmatched by anyone

[@daneilrafael4824]

Umm Shane O'Neil please

[@mcdonaldsbigmac3935]

Miles is one of a kind It's mental how precise he is on that board 🛹

[@zstackz98]

The prim team is so stacked 🔥

[@MrElpajita]

This isn’t basketball or baseball, but amazing team tho’.

[@ryanjacobson7394]

Fire team , just fire

[@Thanos916]

They need more decent ledge skaters tho.

[@zstackz98]

Thanos916 wish Diego najera was still on prim but he left to April

[@zstackz98]

Thanos916 Trent, Paul, Carlos, and miles r all really good ledge skaters wym

[@TeodorKuhn]

that look when he lands the switch back heel. epic editing.

[@poeticsteez]

Only a skater can relate to that look, you know it felt so good.

[@blackseven4561]

I love what you Primitive-Guys are doing. Awesome team, a leader who knows...

[@juliansanchez8381]

that switch back heel gave me the chills

[@Bonesmalone27]

I literally thought the switch back heel was first try just because the way he looked at the camera, and it wouldnt surprise me if it was cause miles skill level on a board is ridiculous. Miles is a monster

[@JuankaRodriguez09]

PRIMITIVE IS THE BEST SKATEBOARDING TEAMFAMILY IN THE WHOLE WORLD 2020 thank you

[@alielali10]

Primitive KIIIILLING the content game.

[@Youmeuswearethei]

14:52 - 15:15 💪🏾 words of wisdom w epic switch backside heel to finish✊🏿💯

[@LastManMedia]

How this came together at the end. Alan. Unreal

[@brenocarneiro9810]

This series is soo damn good

[@sk83rboi777]

Between the skaters, photographers, videographers, merchandise, etc., Primitive consistently has the highest production quality of any skate company.

[@crondigady]

Mile’s switch flip switch front crook is one of the best tricks ever done. I was blown away when Marc Appleyard did it regular. He did it switch.

[@DFunct905]

crondigady it’s easy to forget how far skating has come without a reminder like that. I didn’t realize that was the same rail.

[@patalo299]

Every single trick is clean that's crazy

[@valegendre]

Yes he is definitely an athlete and right now he is in his prime so let's all enjoy miles silvas 👍👍

[@algraevan22]

Can you believe we’re alive in a time to witness shit like this? Miles is on another fuckin planet

[@ANGRYBOYAARON]

INSANE STEEZ and super cool to get some insight into Miles' approach to skating. Amazing documentary-style filming as well, holyyyyyy, shoutout Primitive and shoutout Miles. Imma go cop his pro-model now.

[@mr.bluenotedoobop]

When the behind the scenes is better than most new actual videos! :)

[@Flips2Clips]

Crazy that Miles was able to film that good of a part in a short period of time. A clip or more a day , he's a machine 👏

[@sk8yo41]

Yes, I was waiting for the next episode! Love the series

[@FlossyFingers]

Thank you Primitive for this.

[@oxoxtt]

Thank you, Primitive.

[@WizardDoom]

I love this type of video, documenting the creation of a video or album. It’s amazing to see all the details and the mindset

[@Its_iQ]

The ending sent me chills, he worked so hard on that back heel for 3 years. So dedicated I love it🤙🏽

[@PocketSkateMag]

So amazing mates! We love this series so much! ❤️

[@ryanjacobson7394]

[@MrPaul-dy2ml]

Keep killing it Miles and I love what you do

[@joaopa00]

Portugal ❤

[@lukeboehnlein5794]

this team is just seriously stacked. i thought when salabanzi and o'niell left they got a little weak. boy was i wrong, the core team coupled with some insanely innovative youngins is insane. this team is poised to crush shit for a long time. 1

[@DanTheman-ci2ty]

Yes he’s one of my favorites

[@EvokeTennis]

The big switch flip sealed the deal for me, incredible

[@HandsomePuggg]

That’s incredible that he did all this within 4 months and to throw in that iconic switch back heel at Wallenberg. Inspirational.

[@gandhimahatma3304]

miles wade and spencer are such a good fit on primitive. i'm glad you guys got such a solid team!

[@wesrundle6326]

The stare at Wallenberg is iconic, and it will stand the test of time!

[@thekingofthe916]

So sick. Makes extremely hard skateboarding look effortless. My boy Alan Hannon though. Glad to see you're still doing big things...

[@rioncooper8602]
