Miles Silvas - Populist 2016

21-year-old Miles Silvas is Mr. Natural. His easy style absorbs not just the impact but everything around him. His part in Adidas’ “Away Days” is a presentation of someone who is extraordinarily gifted. It’s four minutes of the best possible publicity for a skate shoe: he glides along like a drop of mercury; seeing him in action provokes a chemical reaction. Currently finishing up his PUSH part for The Berrics, and recently appearing as an inaugural rider for NUMBERS, Miles has plenty more in store for 2017. This is his second year in Populist, and he endures as someone who is undeniably one of the best today.

Populist 2016 | The Nominees

Skateboarding had a hell of a leap year in 2016: 366 days of continually evolving skateboarding; it seemed like we needed an extra day just to absorb everything that happened.

Ask the average skater (if there is such a person) to list the ten best skaters this year and you’ll get a blank stare. How do you choose? It’s even more of a fool’s errand for us! How can The Berrics select only ten Populist contenders in a year that was full of surprises and consistency and progression? There are typically dozens more worthy choices every year, but check this out: we can’t really just throw everybody’s name in the hat. If we tried to please everyone and added every skater who knocked our socks off, what would that prove? It would just seem like we didn’t even try very hard.

So we keep it to ten skaters every year. It’s a daunting task, yet we always look forward to it. Sifting through countless impressive parts and eyeball-rattling photo sequences, we’re able to piece together the year’s timeline of Populist—the award that’s given for a year of achievement. Who’s your favorite?

FOFA Hardware - FOFAlona

As adults it's nearly impossible to plan a big skate trip with all your childhood friends, let alone 14 days in Spain. In September we did just that with the FOFA Hardware crew. Amazing skate spots, beautiful beaches, tapas, a side mission to Zaragoza, Damm lemons, Jamboree, and some of the best times of our lives. FOFAlona was one for the books.
