PRESS RELEASE

adidas Skateboarding welcomes…

Portland, OR – adidas Skateboarding is proud to announce it’s newest member to the team- Silas Baxter Neal. This Eugene, Oregon native needs no introduction to the skate world. His ability to shred anything in his path with smooth style and pure confidence made him an easy choice to add to the team.

Currently residing in Santa Rosa, California, Silas turned pro for Habitat last year and confirmed that he deserved the honor right out of the gates with insane footage for his Inhabitants video part. He is Transworld’s 2007 Rookie of the Year, and was the subject of an 18-page interview in Thrasher. As if those accolades aren’t impressive enough on their own, check his recent parts in Seasons 4 and the Toebock video. He has recently been featured on the covers of Slap, Transworld and Thrasher’s Photo Issue and received editorial coverage and interviews in Skateboarder and Thrasher’s Am Issue… all within the past year.

Wes Kremer auf DC

Sk8mafia Pro Wes Kremer darf seit neustem mit DC Schuhen sein Board bearbeiten. Das passende Welcome Video könnt ihr euch hier anschauen.

 

PRESS RELEASE

This week the DC Skate program is proud to officially announce a new member to the amateur team: Wes Kremer. Visit dcshoes.com for the goods on Wes, including photos and bio on his team page plus a new video with Wes footage.

Born and raised in San Diego, Wes just graduated from high school. Skateboarding-wise, he’s a product of his environment—influences like Cardiel and Penny, laid back S.D. style, and afternoon sessions and skate P.E., strangely, to dial his skating.

Though just officially announced as a team member this month, he’s been traveling and skating with the DC team for nearly a year now.

While you’re flipping through this month’s mags look for Wes’ welcome ad… or ads, more appropriately. Each of the three major skate publications feature a different sequence, so watch out for ’em all.

Check out a welcome video edit of Wes at skate.dcshoes.com. Posted this morning to go along with his new ad(s), it’s not only Wes’ official welcome to the am team, but also your best way to get familiar with him if you don’t know Wes or his skating yet.

Welcome Wes! Stay tuned… we’ll have more on the new skate team addition next week.
