Silas Baxter-Neal's "Open Sequence" Part

[@tonygonzalez9493]

The upstair ollie sequence after the last trick was just a cherry on top

[@kus88]

the closing sequence if you will

[@Rufusdos]

It seems to be flat, just ollieing over channels.

[@alveer3321]

😙🙏👏😘🌕☀️🤙

[@ericduminil]

@@Rufusdos I think you're right. That''s insane, and harder than small stairs, because you can hang both trucks.

[@EditronSpawn]

This plaza looks absolutely terrible, I love it

[@turbo8481]

Looks terrible, sounds worse. Lol raw street right there. Silas is the man.

[@NickVanzwol]

Probably the worst / best spot you’ll ever skate

[@hankwilliams3063]

Chunky as fuck

[@thomashoffstetter5767]

Not a good spot trust me

[@tacticsboardshop]

Hell Yeah Silas!!! 🔥 If you've never been to those spots, they are the definition of crust.

[@brandonw.2066]

Still killing it after all these years. Skates the roughest spots too.

[@skait174]

still looks like he had the 53mm on too.

[@aaronovski9949]

Zzzzzzzzzz

[@j.r.goepper9789]

The most crusty spots ever. I can only imagine how it would destroy your skin if you fell lol

[@infinidominion]

I think this was all pretty much the same spot

[@something_in_the_radiator1665]

@@aaronovski9949 were you asleep on the toilet?

[@bumrodgers]

I can't begin to express how much of an understatement "crusty" is for this spot. This is absolutely insane. I've dreamed about that fountain being only crusty lol. My feet and ankles are screaming just watching this. SBN is an absolute legend.

[@coverlovercomics2579]

There is a question in skateboarding. Does the trick make the spot, or does the spot make the trick? Silas is the dude to make you ask this question forever. This was pure fantasticness!

[@jimmyhill5265]

Both but in this case the spot makes the trick

[@coverlovercomics2579]

@@jimmyhill5265 when was the last time someone had more than 1 minute of footage at one spot? Nuff Said

[@sethmamuska]

This whole part is filmed at two spots called Keller fountain and Lovejoy fountain that were both designed by the architect Lawrence Halprin. Its cool to see how they both have similar multileveled designs that open up so many lines and routes, but conversely, have the same exposed aggregate concrete that makes the ground and ledges so rough, crusty, and hard to skate. This was filmed during a time when both fountains had the water shut off, and since it was the early years of covid, they were fairly deserted, making the ambiance pretty weird. Keller Fountain Park is the first one to appear in the video and was completed in 1970. The second plaza is called Lovejoy Fountain Park and was completed in 1966. They are about 3-4 blocks from each other in downtown Portland Oregon.

[@anthonyorr8868]

"you only adopted the crust. i was born in it, raised by it..." -silas, probably

[@kevinalamo4250]

Lol well played, sir

[@Chrisjonpage]

I tried skating a parking lot near my house that was kinda rough yesterday, pushed around for about 8 seconds then left. This is amazing.

[@williamcanizalez3429]

Get back there and keep skating!!!!

[@kairu3779]

Silas signed a board for me back when he skated for Elwood. Seeing him skate and use Heatmiser for the Video really makes my day.

[@wegothefunk]

The fact that kids will want to come to these spots after seeing this just shows how smooth he makes shit look. Those two parks are incredibly rough and difficult to skate.

[@williamturner6045]

Next X games will have new event. ..... X Games Gravel Street. They just glue a bunch of rocks together on the ground and say "there ya go"

[@kevinalamo4250]

Right? Like the few times he would get to a smooth slab of concrete, I'd be like: thank God! Beautiful spot but that ground is janky as shit

[@toddwilson3702]

I've always been a fan of this man.

[@bewatermyfriend7355]

he's sick, fun to watch

[@johnnyc.3261]

As someone who lives in Portland and skated these spots a ton; this is insane. Fucking amazing video!

[@lucasloy7587]

I believe it! The entire time I was watching the spot all I could think was “crusty”!

[@thomascreech1696]

I literally thought "I bet that spot is WAAAAY harder to skate than this guy makes it look." lol

[@CaalamusTube]

Where the hell is this?! I used to live in SE... this looks like some campus or something. Never been there.

[@CaalamusTube]

PS found it... can't believe I walked by this forever :P

[@shplinkshploink1393]

@@CaalamusTube where is it?

[@danieklerr]

Really fire part. I love quick feet, and the precision of his fakie tricks down the stair sets is underappreciated.

[@j.r.goepper9789]

He’s been shredding for soo long. I’m glad I can still watch some of my fav skaters that I was into when I first started skating.

[@fhhu3167]

This is one of my fav parts for this year The part shows what skateboarding is for me truly about Playing with architecture

[@billjackson5543]

So awesome that he uses Heatmiser for this gnarly Portland part. Much respect.

[@ChillhopMusic]

Crazy how he makes a spot that probably nobody skates look like something people want to skate.

[@JonCrocker]

Now I know why I can't seem to find wax anywhere. It's all at this spot.

[@Shannonkellysk81111]

😂😂😂😂

[@allenrivaschasco9935]

Skater of the year forever will be skater of the year ❤️🤝🏻 thank you so much silas for this video part 😍✨ piece of art

[@armkidmustang]

These spots are a total gem and blew me away the first time I came here, had no idea at the time Portland had insane spots like this

[@JeffFadness]

Every aspect of this is pure art. One of the best parts I've seen in a long time.

[@Badnewsbass]

So dope. I love that it was all filmed at the same place. Makes feel like I watched a love park part portland version.

[@jakemay814]

That stair bail looked ruff

[@jiggs677]

The kids probably don't know but silas was the rage in skateboarding back in the day. Just the king. Glad hes still killing it ender is bonkers

[@84vietskater]

Always good to see Silas footage!

[@supernewuser]

Always happy to see new Silas footage. Really creative part. For some reason I thought he was going to gap to the street at 0:38 and tailslide drop tailslide a 1:01.

[@Sammy-ej4pj]

SOTY 2022. Let’s see someone clear that gap! Silas is The Best!

[@robbglow]

Best lookin spot evver, I can get over the crust with it that peaceful.

[@kdp8381]

Oh my! That whole spot is just incredible - surface, design, feel. Plus, SBN smashing it! Yes!

[@Rufusdos]

Perfect form in an imperfect situation! More power to you Silas. That last slam made me wince, but you came back!

[@JHibbeln93]

Love the sounds in this! You can hear the crust, so sick!!

[@morgangleave8518]

AWESOME. Love everything about this. And what a location!

[@MrSkateBaron]

That was an Arthouse skate video and i loved every second! Skateboarding is beautiful!

[@JiefSkate]

This part is making Lawrence Halprin’s work shine.

Soo good. Got me hyped to skate, I love an edit which unveils a spot. Simple, fun & inspiring cheers!

[@mrcrocs6592]

I don’t know if I’ve ever seen a part of Silas which doesn’t include a wall ride of some sort. He’s killin it with this rough ass concrete, wonderful!

[@SakosTechSpot]

That spot looks so dope and fun. Wish I could skate there too 🤙

[@nickramos3417]

How can you skate that rough ground, absolutely amazing

[@absurdstuff]

Great nod to Portland with the Heatmiser track. Spots look amazing but also so difficult to skate. Ripping

[@JunkBondTrader]

Hell yeah! Pretty deep cut :p

[@criddler_9738]

That’s how Ptown needed to be skated. Thank you for this part folx. Silas is a SOTY picked by the old man.

[@wowisjake]

Bruh that ender is soo sick. If y'all never skated these Portland spots they are straight cheese grater rough and really kinda hard to skate, especially Lovejoy. So it's all the more sick to see Silas putting it down there and getting really really creative. So hyped

[@skateboardsecret7597]

He just skated the same spot but made a part out of it that’s kinda crazy

[@sk8rMike360]

Nice work, Silas and Tristan! 🔥

[@incsk8]

Just the other day I was thinking that i had a lack of Silas footy in my life.

[@wwoogiee]

did anyone notice Blueprint 'Lost and found' vibe in this footage?

[@Thisisdarkdata]

Any footage with crusty spots and gloomy footage is gonna immediately feel like Blueprint vibe. BTW that was one of my favorite skate videos ever

are we this old :D
