Out There: Silas Baxter Neal
Whether it's collecting his water from a mountain spring, foraging for mushrooms off the beaten track or catching his fish in the local river, Portland Oregon's Silas Baxter Neal is a man at one with nature and at one with the family man he has become.
Approaching 40, but showing no signs of slowing down, the 2008 Thrasher SOTY is still one of the most important talents on a board in 2021 and his vivre is contagious as he maintains his own fountain of youth through living life on his terms. Be that growing the majority of his food in his backyard, or tearing up the local park like a lad half his age, the path that SBN is on certainly seems the righteous one!
This new video from Thrasher may clock in at the humble eleven-minute mark but, much like its subject, it seems to get so much more out of that time; this really is an eye-opening watch!
